Streaming Services

@yoyoyaya if your internet speed slows down for whatever reason tidal will still work, but Qobuz will not, that tells me that Qobuz is uncompromising which is good.

Whether your streamer is effected by a slowdown in internet speed is primarily a function of your streamer. A high quality streamer will cashe the files, isolating you from all but extended incredibly low speeds. The bandwidth used by streaming services today is miniscule. 

@ghdprentice  why would tidal work and Qobuz didn't work when my internet speed was slowed down for a few hours?

I use Amazon.  Qobuz is 10.95 I think.  I can't move all my music that I picked out..I tried Qobuz and found no difference.  At the time , they had 60 million songs.  All songs are at least 16/44.1.  You will want to run Cat 6 or higher or optical.  You will find all kinds of albums you always wanted to hear or new music.

Seeing all these responses is wonderful. This is all new to me and I have been given a lot to go from - thank you everyone! I'm sure others will benefit as well.

I will share that I just bought this Conrad Johnson HD3 USB DAC because it is the same brand as my other electronics (see original post that began this thread + I also have Conrad Johnson DV2B Tube CD player). I thought this could get me going with streaming. CJ puts it this way for this DAC  "The HD3 is an audiophile grade digital to analog converter for use with a computer based audio source". 

This DAC only has a USB input.

Silly Question: Are there Streamers that can connect to a USB only device like this?

Thank you!
