Big question on music streaming

Whereas of course the fact of the matter is that we have no such agenda, and just report what the BQ participants say.

Apologies then. As far as I could tell the Linn seemed to be there to show that spending more improved SQ, which didn't appear to be relevant to the article.

To answer the BQ, wouldn't you have been better to keep the variations to a minimum, e.g., CD transport and streamer both connected to the same DAC using the same cables, etc.?

I realise you're not conducting a scientific experiment and it's just a bit of fun, but a bit more rigour could help answer these BQs, I'm sure helping your readers.

Sorry if this is negative as I think the BQ is probably the best concept in the mag.

Odd, seemed pretty clear that it was there to demonstrate the superiority of higher bitrate audio, although obviously there would have been an improvement because the hardware itself was better but there isn't much that could be done about that.
