Thank you for your response. That does sound promising. Chromecast is now hooked up so I am going to give this a go and let you know.

Thank you. I have started this separate thread to try to discuss options for my music stored locally in a lossles format. The other thread is to discuss payed offerings for high resolution streaming.

Great to hear you had a success with Qobuz. I will trial Qobuz, they seem to be doing 15 day free trial. Which subscription have you opted for?

Thank you for your comment. I have spent the last day trying to research something sound, Google search is my friend. There are people using Plex but the concern there that other people raised is that Plex is transcoding so there might be some loss of quality. I have seen some other posts but...

I have an amplifier, decent set of speakers and a Google Chromecast Audio connected to it through RAC. I am using Chromecast Audio built in DAC but might consider getting separate DAC later, or try one for comparison. I have a Mac Mini on the network that is always on anyway. I would like to...

Found one for £16 on https://www.scan.co.uk. My deliivery is free but even with delivery charge it is well under £30

Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't considered Google's offering before but after your suggestion I looked into it and it does sound appealing. I think I might trial multiple services at the same time and compare the sound and usability. I will try to report here with any findings.

Judging from this Twitter thread it looks unlikely to be happening anytime soon. Any idea how to get Tidal to play through the amp without a loss of quality? Thanks

Thank you for your reply. What about the service? Does Qobuz work well with Chromecast?

Thank you for your reply. Found it really helpful. At first I thought about getting second hand components but at the end I went to explore to Richer Sounds. I looked at some speakers online and read reviews. Went there thinking I want to try to combine Marantz amp with Monitor Audio Bronze 2...

Got myself a new Onkyo A-9010 with a pair Dali Zensor 3. I streamed my music before with Amazon Prime Music (MP3 I believe) and free Spotify (MP3 as well I believe). I have a spare Samsung Galaxy S5 which i can use for streaming and can stay connected to the system if needed. My question is...

I have read through some articles and watched some videos online. In a very simplified terms, I undestood that you should be looking for an amp that is rated at least 50% more power per channel, compared to the rating of your speakers and you should match the ohms of the speakers. If the speaker...
