When I tested the Sony’s I borrowed some well used ones from the store. I have to admit I didn’t download the app, so I have no idea if the sound signature was based on whatever setting was remembered from the last used source, but as the Dalis have no app I just found their default sound to be...

You are absolutely right. Funny thing though, I completely agree with their Dali review, but am (as stated) baffled by the Sony review.

It baffles me that Sony WH-1000XM4 gets so high praise in the hifi media (What HiFi included). I have listened to them extensively while on loan, and I find they sound murky and muffled. Not clear at all. I also loaned the Dali IO-4's to compare, and unlike the Sony's they sound crystal clear...

Yes, but I have kids who mainly use the volume control on the device, so if volume is low on the device from last session they cram up my amp instead, would rather they just got used to only using volume on amp 😊

While running some tests with my Rega DAC (1. gen) and a Topping D10s, I noticed that while running the source directly to the Rega DAC's USB input the volume was fixed (which I prefer), but when running through the D10s to get Coaxial SPDIF out in 24/192, which the Rega does not support via...

Ahh, didn't know that. I already have 2 regular Chromecast units, but not the one with Google TV. Can you cast like you normally would to the old Chromecast models, or is everything through the interface only?

Okay, thanks. Guess there is no way around an Apple TV then.

I know a lot of newer TV's have built in Apple TV+ and Airplay 2, but as I am on the lookout for a new blu-ray player, I was wondering if any exist with those credentials, so I wont have to buy an Apple TV as well.

Anyone tried this one? I am thinking of getting either that or Supra Excalibur USB, but haven’t found any serious reviews of either. And please, I am not interested in starting yet another discussion about digital being 0’s and 1’s, so cables wont make a difference 😊

Imusic is legit. Been around for a while. If you like Danish vinyl webstores, gaffashop.dk is one of the best.

The topic of digital cables is a highly controversial one, bordering on religious war. Can you hear a difference between digital cables or are the 0's and 1's simply there or not? No matter which frontline you stand behind, I find it curious that the latest digital cable review is from 2012...

Agree, but if in my case I pay for hifi with Deezer I would like to be sure that I am getting, what I pay for. Airplay has always been sold as being CD quality using the alac codec, so I feel cheated if I only get 256 aac. Doesn”t really make sense to me why they would do that. But, again...

According to Deezer hifi, they are casting lossless to Airplay 2, but your link now makes me question that. I’m flabbergasted.

Exactly. I switched back and forth numerous times, and I believe what I heard was more some sort of placebo effect than real differences. Now I can simply relax and listen to the music, and not worry whether listening via Airplay 2 is not as good as my beloved Squeezebox. In other words...

I have read a lot about optical vs coaxial connections, when attaching a digital product to a DAC, so I decided to try it out, connecting both types to my Rega DAC (1. Gen). My setup Airport Express connected with Audioquest optical using Airplay 2. Squeezebox Touch connected with Wireworld...
