And I am glad that high end companies like dCS and MSB have.

I have owned the Mytek DAC+ for a little over a week. Very impressed with it for both regular PCM, MQA and for vinyl playback with the internal MM circuit.

Good video. Only thing I can say is, when Paul McGowan says we have bandwidth coming out the butt, he clearly doesn't live in my neighborhood.

Dave, good video. It strengthen my resolve against MQA. It is not in the consumer's best interest. The only reason PS Audio included it in some of its products is that its customers wanted it. But, the owners don't like it.

Let me know when there's a better way to stream High Res music on a slow internet connection. (1-10 Mbps)

Dave, I hope you know I was joking. My internet speed started out at 3 mps, then it increased to 10 then to 50, and now I have 400 mps. Suddenlink kept improving their speed so maybe your provider will do so in the not to distant future.

Yes, I kknew that....

My ISP is wireless, as are all the ones available to us where we live. In the evening it slows to a crawl. They say they are workong on the issue. 5-10 MBPS is plenty when i get it, though I don't know if I were trying to download uncompressed ji-res.

Moonhawk, I have been buying every DTS-CD I can find. I found that these CDs can be imported and they play back discreet 5.1 sound through Bryston's BDP-1 and 2. So far, I have purchased Herb Alpert-Passion Dance, Boys II Men, Fire and Honey by the Ohio players and I have The Police and Marvin Gaye's greatest hits on order. They sound great, and in my opinion, is the answer for getting 5.1 discreet sound without all the hassle.

For those who use Roon, the newest version that just came out can now decode MQA (software decode only of course).
