    Re: Sirius XM buys Pandora

    Cool, as long as they incorporate the best parts of both in a single package! I always loved how Pandora would find new things for me.

    Re: Live YouTube Music Streams ....

    I agree with you about Tidal vs. Pandora. Tidal's "curated" playlists are awful, nearly worthless. Pandora was always introducing me to new things that were relevant to my tastes, but I terminated...

    Re: Set-Up Advice?

    Originally, I didn't look at the specs for those speakers. They are quite small and I would never expect them to reproduce Rock or Metal very well at anything above modest levels. Changed my mind,...

    Re: Set-Up Advice?

    Repeat after me, "all watts are not created equal." The 371 is rated for a 1Khz signal at 100W (6ohms, 0.9% THD), one channel driven. I've seen THD listed as low as 0.001% and as high as 1% at the...

    Re: It was time for a new TV

    I just got the LG 65" OLED and I have to agree with the bright room concerns. I wouldn't say my room is that bright, but right now that room is a little brighter than usual because we're getting new...

    Re: Yanni vs Laurel Have you taken the test?

    Heard it first this morning on my main TV system while watching ESPN and clearly heard Yanny. Just listened on my phone and still hear Yanny. Pretty neat trick, I can't imagine how someone could be...

    Re: Top Guitarists according to Rolling Stone

    My wife is always asking me who the best 5 guitarists are. I always tell her that is impossible to answer unless you create several much narrower categories than just "best." She thinks that Neil...

    Re: James Hunter

    I saw him at a festival in California about eight years ago and was pretty blown away, bought his CD on the spot. I compared his voice to Sam Cooke at the time and he's a pretty decent guitarist. ...

    Re: Pad for App control other than iPad

    Ok, went ahead and ordered a Fire HD 8 last weekend for $50. Seems to be working fine now that I’ve found my old playlists, the software was no help at all, in fact it steered me in the wrong...

    Totally agree with you. I think he gets a lot of heat from Internet forums from people who are jealous of him, claiming that he’s a no talent hack. They must never have heard or watched Where the...

    Re: Pad for App control other than iPad

    Thanks! I also have an Amazon Fire TV on that system and, since I also have Amazon Prime, a Fire HD would seem like a likely choice and they’re pretty cheap too.

    Re: Pad for App control other than iPad

    Will do. Tired of Apple for the same reasons and, on top of that, their products don't work that great either. I get billed $.99 every month for their Cloud Service that I did not request and don't...

    Pad for App control other than iPad

    Been using my iPhone for Media Control App to operate my Oppo 103D, mostly for Tidal and Netflix. I have two iPads at home, but neither could serve as the dedicated controller that I want as my wife...

    Man, got careless with voice to text, glad you could interpret. Think the D2 is going on my Christmas list!

    thanks! Now that the power supplies in a graded in the case, that would lead me to believe that it’s better than the previous outboard supply. Is it the same price?
  16. Re: MQA already dead in the water? No full decoding DAC alternatives...

    I don’t want to go crazy. Is the D2 a replacement for the D1 or an upmarket version?

    Thanks, I can be patient, for a little while ��
  18. Re: MQA already dead in the water? No full decoding DAC alternatives...

    So, with the firmware upgrade, the Oppo will do the full unfold of MQA? I use my 103D to stream Tidal and one of the things I’ve been thinking about is to take a digital out to a Sonica DAC. It even...

    It sounds like Mr. Lucey is defending that ALL mastering engineers over the past three or four decades did everything perfectly up through mastering and A/D conversion. I'm not casting doubt on his...

    Phoenix market here. I experienced stuttering and dropouts lasting 10-20 seconds several times last week. This week just some occasional stuttering.
