I would like to see a credible source publish streaming service reliability metrics such as uptime %, duration range of downtime, etc. Reliability is a result of the integration of the music streaming service and the device it is played on so there is a need to measure based on this coupling...

Advice on network/WiFi streaming needed. Currently using a cheap and cheerful Google Chromecast (connected to Aux 1 of my recently acquired Marantz 7200) to access Spotify and occasionally web radio and a direct cable connection from my phone to access Apple Play - as Apple doesn’t work with...

Hi all, Newbie here…. I’ve had a Bluesound Node 2i feeding a Rega Elicit R and ATC SMC 19’s for a while and honestly, I’ve never really liked the sound. It’s a torrent of harshness to my ears, though TBF running my Planar 2 through the Rega phono stage sounds warmer but still not as musical...

I bought a Vault 1 about ten years ago - it failed and I was offered a Vault 2 at reduced price to replace since the issue was an acknowledged problem. The replacement was in 2017, last month the Vault 2 failed - it is stuck in an update. Bluesound support cannot fix the problem and now are...

I’m thinking of beginning my upgrade journey with a Naim XD5 streamer as a first step; followed...

I am looking to upgrade my speaker+receiver combo that is set up in my living room. Music would be streamed primarily on Spotify and Chromecast (using google home mini). I mainly listen to electronic music and also jazz and easy listening. A vinyl player with builtin in pre-amp would also be...

Hey guys, I could need some help. Last year, I did buy B&W 805 D3's after listening to them for almost two full afternoons at a great Hi-Fi-Dealer in Glasgow. I also wanted an integrated amp, but the only one they had in stock was an Auralic Polaris. While it did sound fine, I just couldn't...
