I am running 2 pairs of the CV181-Z's for a long time now and have been very satisfied. I haven't done any other tube rolling to compare them though, so maybe ignorance is bliss on my part. Wanted to get some of the good RCA's but too high for me, so I have just stuck with these.

Put 4 Shuguang Treasure Cv181-z tubes in. Waiting for them and my Yggdrasil to break in. Tube Monger has some that fit but is charging $40 for them. You can buy these on ebay cheap: Sand the outer diameter down a little and they work (cheap belt sander with 50 grit paper gets the job...

It sure would be tough to be stuck with Tidal as the only other high res streaming option!  Qobuz is much better.

Well in my case it appears "Gapped" is not an option, I only get gapless no matter how the checkbox is checked!

Yes and I get Gapless when it is checked and I get Gapless when it is not checked.  I also do not see a way to adjust the gap amount.  When I use the Chrome web player it works fine, but when I use the desktop app for offline playback, it runs the songs together, no gap.

What do you mean, "Just checked... you can only avail of this option if you have a FLAC a/c." , I have streaming quality set to FLAC, True CD quality?

Just tried re-installing the desktop app, no check in Gapless on settings.  Still ran songs together, no gap in between.  I don't see a way to set a gap, only a crossfade duration.    Thanks for the quick response!

Desktop, windows 8.1.

How do you set the gap?  Every time I click the Gapless button I get no gap and when I un-check it I still get no gap and do not see a way to set the gap.

I am having a problem with gapless on Qobuz.  I only have a "Toggle" check box and no time setting.  No matter how I toggle the checkbox I get gapless playback.  I would like a little gap of 2-3 seconds between songs.  Do you know how I can fix this?
