| Is Qubuz Direct really better I finally tried Q connect with my Esoteric N01XDSE and wow…. What a difference from the Soundstream app I had been using. It’s like a veil was removed. I think it is system dependent, but for me, music seems less crowded and background seem dark... | |
| Esoteric N-01XD SE vs N-01XD I upgraded from the N01XD to the XDSE. Huge improvement. Better dynamics, detail, and soundstage. | |

| Kef Blade to Blade meta? @deep_333 which B&W model did you compare them with? | |
| Problems with lost Qobus Playlists? I lost 6 of my playlists on Qobuz about a month ago. I have no idea how it happened. I called Qobuz and was told they can’t retrieve them. I had 200 songs on each playlist, so I lost 1200 songs. I was frustrated, and sort of worrisome that i... | |
| Shunyata X series power cords There is also a sigma X QR, that is supposed to be better than the Omega. | |
| Compare B&W 804 D2 to D3 speakers i have the B&W 802d3 speakers and love them. You just need to make sure you have a good, strong amp. However, B&W speakers are not well liked on this site and you won’t find many positive comments about them. | |
| Qobuz Thanks everyone. Qobuz says they are gone and can’t be recovered. I know I did not delete them. 6 playlists with about 200 tracks each, or 1200. Bummer for me. | |

I use an Esoteric N01 XD SE streamer, Shunyata Sigma Ethernet cable, and Audioquest Thunderbird XLR interconnects to my preamp.

| Looking for a CD / SACD player. Also, tell me about Esoteric @maxdukecapone What are you thoughts of the N01XDSE? I recently traded in my XD for the XDSE and could not be happier. | |
| Qobuz Connect working Beta demonstration....yay! What is the advantage of bypassing the steamer app? | |
| Amplifier for Dilemma B&W 802D3 I use McIntosh 611s with my B&W 802d3’s. Very happy. | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO I had to ship my F 113 back to the factory twice for repairs, within a year apart. Then, 60 days later, it stopped working again. Needless to say, I was so disgusted with the JL Audio and sent it back for the third time. To their credit, however, ... |
