I can't define where the line in the sand is for anyone but myself when it comes to purchasing audio gear. I do know that the high end in this hobby seems to be increasing prices faster than just about anything else I can think of and it is probably pricing me out of many upgrades. |

Yes we are, up to 24/192 even, with Qobuz, without a single hiccup. Over 50% of the new albums come out every week in high resolution (24/96 and 24/88.2 mostly). Bandwidth might still be a problem now in some rural areas, but in a couple more years, this will no longer be an issue.

I want to comment on the 'limitations' of CD. I recently bought a Marantz SA-10 SACD player, and really just for the DAC it uses, since it is doing SACD and CD in an upconverted DSD process.
As an aside I would mention I am a high frequency maven, it really matters what the treble is doing.. And this now Device really solves for me, any CD hash issues I ever heard. So what I am stating the digititus issue so many call a basic part of CD is not really the fault of the CD, more like the problem with a lot of DACs. Just sayin'. (PS I have no fish to fry in MQA. I own all the music I ever will play, have no plans to ever do HiRez, or streaming.) Last edited by Beet Farmer; 10-23-2018 at 07:46 AM. Reason: minor correction |

Bart,
I can’t wait for qbouz to arrive stateside. I live in rural Colorado so bandwidth remains an issue and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.

My issue with Qobuz is how it integrates with my listening. I think at the moment, only Audirvana Plus supports it, and it has been a little flaky for me. And I am not sure my 6Mbps (on a good day) ADSL is going to cope with it. MQA Hires is just about doable (one stream only).
I would love for Roon to support Qobuz since that is how I listen primarily. Don't think Naim does it. Lucky MConnect on my PS Audio works with Qobuz
