Re: Qubuz in the USA is just around the corner.

Re: Qubuz in the USA is just around the corner.
We feature over 130,000 albums (about 2 million tracks) in high resolution available for streaming and download. This is on top of the 40 million 16-bit/44-kHz full resolution cuts.

Re: New photos of Randy's system ...
There is no max DSD rate based on OS. DOP is completely dependent on the maximum PCM input a DAC can do. You need double the equivalent PCM to deliver DSD DOP.
DSD64 PCM equivalent is 88.2 so... -

So Joe are you doing anything different to prolong the tube change cycle? I know you are a heavy user and that’s always been your biggest concern.

Re: Went 4K in the Studio
Dan too bad your room wouldn't let you go larger with a 4K TV. I sit 10' from my 65" LG E6 and wish I could afford larger.
Personally, I love HDR more than the extra resolution. -

Re: DAC Opinions
PS Audio isn’t the right choice if you want to continue with HQPlayer, from all reviews it’s best fed original content.
IMO, stick with what you have.

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
