Streaming questions
I have finally given in to pressure and decided to start streaming. I joined Qobuz and have started putting together a playlist which I assume will be no problem to play in my car with the Qobuz app. I would appreciate some recommendations for the streaming device that I will use with my home system. My gear is midfi: Revel Performa3 206, and Rega Elix-r integrated. When I get the streaming device how do I get it to play my playlist which I generated on my Mac? I am completely clueless as to how this all works. Greatly appreciate your help. Thanks
I’ve used both Bluesound and the Wiim and Wiim definitely worked better, more stable and reliable. The Bluesound updates several times were problematic. Never a problem with Wiim. Btw @heirofmozart I almost exclusively listen to classical and one problem with Qobuz, and many other streaming services, is the software. It’s all designed for popular and struggles with classical. Apple Music Classical has a far better search engine. I have found dozens of albums on Apple that I could not find on Qobuz, even though Qobuz carries them. |
Qobuz native sounds better to me than the rest BUT has annoying drop outs time to time. Interestingly running non native through my Auralic Lighting DS app running Qobuz it works fine. Sound quality might be a tad more dynamic when native (or it could just be me thinking so because I’ve been told native is better), who knows so take that comment with skepticism as no blind test has been done, nor cared to as it sounds glorious used with the Lighting app, e.g., Aries S1 with S1 LPS to Chord Qutest with LPS as well. |
