FWIW, there are several differences between the various releases of the album. For example, on the song Brown Sugar, the 44/16 version on Qobuz has the guitar hard panned to the right and Billy Gibbons' voice hard panned to the left. The 192/24 version on Qobuz has the guitar and vocals...

Files downloaded from Qobuz are free of DRM* and may be used wherever you like. I’d recommend saving the files to a SSD/HDD/USB storage media of your choosing. Since you previously mentioned that you don’t have any ripped or downloaded media I’m somewhat surprised that you’re starting now...

For me it doesn't get much better than their first album titled... ZZ Top's First Album. Not a bad track to be found but my personal faves would be "Certified Blues" and "Brown Sugar."

Thanks! Sorry I put you on the spot.

I've heard some people having good luck using the iPad camera connection kit which will allow the iPad to remain charged while you're using it. Something like this - https://tinyurl.com/3pkftaua I believe @adias uses something similar. Maybe he'll chime in. edit - While I'm a fan of Roon...

Nothin' but love for Chrissie Hynde and/or the Pretenders. You might enjoy -

Once again, some of the references in this thread have gone way over my head. 🍹

I'm fairly sure they're different things but, hey, you do you.

Yes, please!

Do you run the Syn at full volume and use Freya+ for attenuation?

Maybe already mentioned but RIP David Sanborn. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/may/14/david-sanborn-obituary

Cool pic Mr. Kotter. :)

Hey pal, keep your eyes on the road!

I assume you've go something to do/someone to see in Kerville as the drive to Boerne is only 35ish miles. Either way, welcome to TX. :beerchug:

Sorry if you’ve mentioned it previously, but what are you using for playback of your digital files? I was introduced to Radio Garden just recently and I’m enjoying it as well.

I’m very late to the party regarding Porcupine Tree but I’m really enjoying them now. My first exposure to Steven Wilson was his remixes of Jethro Tull and Yes albums which I think are excellent. If only all remixed/remastered albums sounded as good!

To piggyback on @Ableza’s comment above I also feel that my purchase of a lifetime Roon subscription is one of my best audio purchases. It isn’t for everyone, but for those of us who enjoy streaming audio AND have a large collection of digital media Roon is very hard to beat. There has been...

Yep.

Roon is fairly agnostic when it comes to file types. You could digitize your LPs to FLAC/WAV/AIFF whatever and Roon would play them just fine. You would, however, need to spend some time getting the metadata correct on your files which would be a fairly significant undertaking. The metadata...

To be honest, I'm not in love with the BlueOS app especially when it comes to interacting with Qobuz. I do use Qobuz but I use the Roon interface. When/if Qobuz releases "Qobuz Connect" I think the Node would be a good solution for you.

I've got two of them and like them very much. I use them as Roon endpoints and my wife uses them for Spotify connect. I'll answer any questions that I can.

They’re doing it wrong. 😑 Give it a month…

Nice!

Green sky = bad sky. I’ve seen that several times just prior to a significant hail event or tornado.
