    Soundiiz ap. Difficult to figure out for me, but once I did that I can quickly use any ap. But in some cases Tidal will have the album/song but it just isn't picked up in Qobuz or vice versa.

    USB Audio Player PRO (UAPP): 24- and 32-bit playback, ubiquitous USB audio support for Android

    I'm a fan of the apparent remastering that I've read goes along with the MQA. I guess that is what I am responding to when I prefer the MQA file on Tidal. If I listen to various Etta James songs, for example, I will always prefer the MQA version. To me there is usually no comparison. Is that how...

    iFi Hip-DAC Impressions Thread

    Tidal is rolling out an update to its Android app that allows it to communicate bit-perfect with a connected USB DAC. It always asks me to allow the USB connection. I say yes.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    What's generally considered the minimum watts people have used with success and not caused harm? Are tube watts different for the Susvara?

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Aegir can be auditioned for fifteen days. I guess. Probably not supposed to send it back if it functions correctly. $800. And you can use them mono a mono for more power. You have to wonder what that would sound like.

    Perhaps a Ragnarok. Or a Freya preamp with an Aegir Amp.

    HiFiMan Susvara

    Youtuber Currawong has stated in two videos that Susvara is available for $4000. I've never seen it sold at that price. I believe he lives in Japan. Is that some gray market price for a unit sold on a backstreet near the Acihabara?
