On last thing, this is not what I meant. I never said that one was playing better than the other, they are very different cats. Although between the two, I prefer Branford Marsalis' music. Marsalis has left such a mark on Sting's music that it's difficult to come after him, and indeed, Botti...

There, some soothing music by the amazing Art Farmer:

Yep, you forgot, condescending and patronising.

It's quite obvious that you're talking about yourself here. I agree, every opinion is questionable and opened to discussion. However, that Dizzy Gillespie was 9 years older than Miles Davis, that he was already well established and a respected musician by the time Miles Davis started his own...

It's good, means he's still a controversial figure, after all these years. Pete Cosey's solo, joined by Lieman afterwards is quite something. That's such a great performance. Watch at 20:46 how Miles Davis makes the band stop and go while Cosey is playing. You have to face your band to do that...

So, Miles Davis 1973: between around 12:44 and 12:46 Dave Liebman and Miles Davis play together repeatedly hitting a E flat above high C and then Miles hits an A flat above high C. On a Bb trumpet it's B flat actually, a tone away from double high C. So I take that back, it is actually...

I also like very much this wonderful new double cd by Luis Figueiredo:

Here are a few things from Pyeng Threadgill's previous albums:

Ooh, that one is for the desert island, it puts me in such a great and happy mood every time I put in on. Just pure joy.

Hi all, I haven't been posting for a long time, but still kept an eye on the thread and the videos/music posted. It's really nice to see this thread still going and expanding. I'm listening a lot to Pyeng Threadgill last album at the moment and love it. So I thought I would share that even...

Well you made your opinion quite clear, and I understand that you don't like what Miles Davis did from Bitches Brew onwards, and possibly even In A Silent Way, however dismissing his playing as early as 1948 is quite harsh. You also seem to have a confused knowledge of the history of jazz. At...

A bit of Didier Lockwood who died on the 18th of February, unexpectedly at the age of 62.

I'm catching up with the music of Pyeng Threadgill today. She's done three excellent albums that I haven't listened to for a while. Upon hearing that anew one is coming, if her indiegogo campaign is successful, I felt like listening to all of them again. Put a smile on my face. First one is...

From page 31 of Sony's UHP-H1 manual:"[DSD Output Mode] [Auto]: Outputs DSD signals from the HDMI OUT jack when playing a Super Audio CD and DSD format file. Outputs LPCM signals instead if the HDMI connected device not support DSD. [Off]: Outputs PCM signals from the HDMI OUT jack when playing...

This is just a passing comment, I don't pretend to know how it works but some universal blu ray player from Sony and Oppo are outputting the DSD bitstream directly to the amp through the HDMI connection. The PSD Audio Directstream Memory Player does it through the I2s connection. So it's unusual...

, Hi, I don't know about Spotify or Tidal but Qobuz seems to work with upnp: http://blogsv2.qobuz.com/qobuz-blog-en/2015/07/09/179/ I haven't tried it myself as I am a mac user so used Airplay when I tried Qobuz streaming service. Cheers, Pierre

Amazon UK is selling it at the moment too, through market place but fulfilled by them. I bought one for my girlfriend it should arrive tomorrow. Price is higher than from Spain and France at £140 but there's no shipping charge in the U.K. and they ship immediately. However, I don't know how long...

Thanks for the added information Andy, really useful. Cheers, Pierre

No worries, glad it worked :slight_smile:

I think the last time i looked at Ali express the cheapest offer was without case whereas the higher offer included the leather case.

I do I don't have the N5 but I assume it is taking DSF files. I have been using a software from sonore to convert SACD ISO to dsf you can find it here:http://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=129913.0 Hope it helps, cheers.

Oh I see, obviously I wasn't quite awake this morning :p thanks for putting things straight Mimouille.

Hi all, while looking for more images of the M1 - thanks Mimouille for yours - I came across these: https://mobile.twitter.com/JapanChiba/status/784384475643817984 https://mobile.twitter.com/FI_BA_SB/status/784387093178953729 https://mobile.twitter.com/JapanChiba/status/762954796915568640...

I use the free-tier of Deezer, and might try Spotify as well, as a way to discover new music or listen first to albums that I'm interested in and then if I want to buy them I do it on Qobuz of HDtracks (by the way did you try Qobuz through a VPN? Because I didn't know it was available in the...
