Hi, I am looking for advice. I own an Apollo R CDP that I like the sound signature of. I can still get a Rega DAC -R from a local supplier that they have in stock despite it now been discontinued and think it would compliment the Apollo.
But I would also want to use it for streaming from a PC and pe haps add a streaming transport at some point something a Bluesound. I believe that the DAC_R is not compatible with Tidal masters files or the file format used by Tidal for their high-res recordings. Can someone please tell me preferably from their own experience if the upgrade is still a worthwhile one ? Will I be losing out big time in not having compatibility with the Master's recordings in Tidal ? Or will Tidal still sound good and my Apollo sound even better ?
