When I compare what's available on Tidal and Qobuz, I often see that where Qobuz offers a 24/192 file (for example with the Blue Note remasters),...

That's such a sweet amp..would probably sound amazing on 20.7s, but, I'd bet that on those occasions where ya want to play hard (loud) you'd be...

Hi Ollie. Glad you like your Mainz 8 DTC!. Regarding the DTC powerbox.. It works parallel in your system. Just by plugging in the box you'll...

No Mike I haven't forgotten anything, but I am pretty sure you have sold DS DACs based on their ability to play MQA files and that they are certified...

What happened? The fear of being left out? https://www.audiostream.com/content/ps-audios-paul-mcgowan-weighs-mqa Sent from my iPhone...

Do you have a cable connected directly from the Audio Output of the TV (probably optical)to an input on the receiver?

I don’t need to. The DAC’s convert everything to DSD. In that case, all bets are off for things staying constant. Did you forget how Paul was...

Nice setup and good looking Derral!

I have 3 MQA dac's although not $10k and up dacs but I can hear a difference, sometimes MQA sounds better sometimes not.. I have a Lumin, ExaSound...

mep has a true MQA DAC as do I, several in fact.

"I'll Fight" was a toughie for my uncle to sing. Finally just had to pile the best of his lines together to make a vocal track. It will be released...

If your position is that upsampling PCM files to DSD or DXD cannot improve SQ that is your opinion and it might be valid for you but you will find...

That will be AWESOME! The sound combo that I love.

Ha! Very cool Ryan. Can't wait for the grand unveiling.

And In The Endless Pause There Came The Sound Of Bees by Jóhann Jóhannsson

Some PCM files suffer being converted to DSD as well.

I leave MQA files alone and let the Upsampler and DAC process those with MQA filters. For the last month or two I have all 16/44.1 files going to...
