I dropped Tidal as soon as Qobuz became available here in the North country. So Tidal was out of the picture well before I took ownership of the Eversolo. As for sound quality, I’m not saying JPlay improves anything compared to other utilities but at the same time I have zero complaints about...

I never stated DAC chips sound the same nor do I believe they do. There is a difference in DACs, and that is the point I was alluding to in the first reply you quoted of mine. No point in an expensive streamer if internal DAC is never being used. Buy cheaper streamer and external DAC to save...

It’s placebo if you think just a streamer has a sound signature and there’s audible quality differences between devices. Kinda like cables. But I will leave it at that. It’s your money and decision making after all. 🤷‍♂️

^ If you’re intent is streamer only you’ll do better with a much cheaper unit like a WiiM (use app on iOS/Android for display) or maybe a CXN if you want a built-in display. This Eversolo is $$$ and kind of overkill if that’s all it will be used for. For Streamer/DAC then a cable from the...

+ One (1) SE out and one (1) BAL out (the 2 SE outputs was a dumb idea and surprised it carried from OG Mojo to Mojo 2.)

^ No google in Spain? :smirk: Bandcamp often has freebies. Same with Soundcloud. If you're into the pirate life then I'll offer zero help.

When you write "iPods" do you mean more than one iPod that you're dealing with? If for whatever reason you can't use iTunes to access the iPod(s), you could try a terrific piece of software called "iMazing" that should be able to get the files off the iPod(s). However, success might come down...

Condition: used. That’ll be a pass. Thanks tho’.

I don’t understand the correlation 🤔

Yesterday I stumbled upon “JPlay” music controller (UPnP) app when looking for something to use with Minimserver and/or Asset UPnP DLNA (dBpoweramp). I am looking to move away from ROON and the ROON Ready certification is taking too long. At first I thought JPlay was related to JRiver Media...

<hangs head in shame>

This is the third tube I ordered off eBay in my blind buying spree that finally arrived today. This is actually THE tube to pique my interest in buying different tubes for the Lyr+. Wife likes the look of this one as well so maybe it’s a sign that I can have a tube amp in the common living room...

It's too bad these discounts are applicable to US customers only. I would def get a second pair @ that price if Canada, or elsewhere, were included.

Another paired set arrived today. Ordered via a well-reviewed eBay vendor in China. Very quick delivery to Canada. I know nothing about tubes but this thread is helping. So far I’m just basing purchases on aesthetics. Lol.

These just arrived today. I ordered from a well-reviewed eBay seller in China and showed up in 4 days to western Canada! This is my first set of “aftermarket“ tubes after recently buying my first tube amp, Schiit Lyr+. I’ve ordered a couple of more styles to try, just waiting on delivery. I...
