I definitely am going to use streaming as my main source of music. I have no desire to keep buying media or downloads. I only own about 200 CDs etc, not 2000, like somebody we both know and don't like the idea of printing enough money to by HD downloads.  Twenty bucks a month, and I have way more than 2000 albums at my fingertips. It has thoroughly rekindled my desire to listen to music.
Only problem is, where I live the best internet connection I can get is not fast enough to stream Hi resolution music. MQA solves that problem nicely.
Just checked, and I don't have the April Stereophile yet. Did Kal like the Dac+? |
I read his review in a cursory manner, but he seem to like it well enough, but he seems to have changed his opinion of MQA, and feels it may not be in our best interest. I read enough from both him and the editor in that issue to know I will never want or get MQA, and neither should you as you will be supporting a closed medium that is suspect to say the least. If I were you and I needed a D/A converter, I'd get the BDA3 because at least you can play DSD through HDMI which I believe the Brooklyn Mytec does not have. I will re-read Kal's review when I get off work.
