thanks guys...keep the feedback coming. right now i'm streaming why you ask? because I stupidly sold alot of my CDs a few yrs ago before i moved to a new place.. .just wasn't into audio back then as I am now. back to streaming: I was with apple, then moved to spotify premium, then lately (again) tidal hifi. just did more research and came across these 2 interesting blind tests comparing streaming. seems that Tidal's supposed superior ''hif fi'' cd quality 44.1 makes little difference in the end if the source is not so well produced/mastered...which is why i'm back to buying my own material, too. see both the videos and comments afterwords...interesting. recently from CNBC: ''Hi-fi music streaming: People can't tell it when they hear it" http://www.cnbc.com/...ey-hear-it.html and last summer, from 'the verge': ''what sounds better: apple, tidal, or spotify''? http://www.theverge....io-quality-test then there is also the 7digital.com etc where I can download flac, too.... but even 24/196 people are suspect if one can truly detect the difference for their premium offerings i have good enough iems (flc 8s), dragonfly red and chord mojo for portable dac/amps....still learning and finding out. while i don't mind spending money, don't want to break the bank.
