![]() ![]() Funny how my 'obsolete' vinyl collection isn't really all that obsolete. I'm sure glad I didn't spend the big money on a dedicated streamer. I've got 3 Roku's and they're in a pissing contest with YouTubeTV. The big take away for streaming is that being "all set" doesn't last very darn long. I'll probably keep using 3.5 as long as it remains viable and see what shakes out. My laptop is new so Apple Music Hi Res may be a future solution, but my dedicated Mac Mini in the bedroom is much too old for Big Sur so that would require a newer used Mac Mini. One of the things on my Audirvana wish list is embedded internet radio which Studio delivers on so that's a big incentive. I had Tidal HiFi for a good 6 month deal after the 3 month trial and I'm not really sold on Tidal - mainly because it's browser and sorting aren't to my liking. Like many here I'm not keen on subscription software, so far I only subscribe to Quicken. I guess the main attraction is updates come sooner instead of piling things on for later with paid updates. Some things are worth it… but way too may companies are going this route without offering a significant reason for doing so. I don’t want fifty different subscriptions which is where things are headed. ![]() ![]() It is a lot more flexible than Audirvana and it’s free. I already use LMS for Casting, AirPlay and Bluetooth. Outside of that, I would switch to LMS and just be happy with it. Not sure why or what they are doing, but it sounds cleaner. Personally, I like the way it sounds on my main system more than other apps I have tried. Also, support for more services would be very helpful. It does sound like the beginning of the end unless they start putting in features most everyone is using… Casting, AirPlay, Bluetooth. I don’t think this app offers enough to go subscription alongside apps like Roon that offer a lot more. ![]()
