| Streaming questions The playlist should transfer with your account, , if you use a dedicated streamer that works with Qobuz . Another option is to use the Mac computer as your streamer, assuming that you have a DAC and that it takes usb inputs. Streamers are basi... | |
| Possible purchase of the first turntable Why is it “theoretically crazy” to have both a digital and an analog system? Most people here probably do both | |
