What's needed to Steam Tidal
Marktomaras, thank you. I don't have the dedicated app, at least yet. I stream from the Tidal website. Thank you for the suggestion and I will try Roon as well. My Bluesound sounds great but if I can get better, I'm all in. You know the game lol. ...

With as fine of a DAC the Ayre Codex is, it's drawback is there are only (2) inputs. There is one optical and (1) USB. As mentioned earlier, the Bluesound played via optical cable sounds phenomenal. Using the USB port from the MacBook, not so much...

Yes, I have the HiFi subscription and that does work and sound fantastic. I wanted to try and stream it from my MacBook and the sound quality is not near as good as the Bluesound. I didn't know if I had to go through different software or somethin...

Yes Woobie, will do. Its going back in Saturday. I just hope they didn't screw it up on me. I'll be really pissed because this is an awesome piece, age and all. We'll see!

auxinput, sometimes I use a MacBook and I don't experience and and buzz or hum which I guess is good. I don't quite understand the timing or clocking issue you mention. How would I know if that's a problem? I'll need to research and learn a bit.

Equi=Core 1800
Devilboy, thank you for you response. I actually purchased the 1800 the other day. I don't usually do this type of purchase without and audition. I spoke to Mark from Core Power Tech and he was very convincing. The thing is, how do you know if you...

How do you know if this interference even exist? I really am not sure if I have this problem or not. The circuit is dedicated so I would like to think lighting and other exterior sources are probably not generating it? I'm using a Furman power con...

Interesting stuff, been reading a thin and learning a lot. Thanks to all. I recently posted a question about splitting or selection of Toslink signal in the Audiogon Digital section. Can't seem to get any takers. You guys know anything about this....

Thanks again guys. This panel is so informative. I'm going to play a bit, have some fun and see how it goes. My system has all Transparent cables, so I will probably start with their power cords. I'm a fan of TC as well. Sfall, that's great to kno...
