Pity the 24/192 seems to have the lowest dynamic range of the lot. I’m sure I have a decent sounding cd somewhere.

Some vinyl is remastered all analogue, Analogue Productions stuff etc, if it doesn’t specifically say I tend to pass.
That’s interesting. Where does it show that? HDT also offer a 24/96 version.
The CD versions I have sound quite rough & untidy.
The 24/192 Hunky Dory seems to do better. I’ll have to try & see what press my Ziggy LP is.

I think some of the dearer Qobuz subscriptions allow downloading of Hires files at reduced prices.

I keep hearing about this MQA thingy, I must look into it.
I’ve got a rip of the 2003 SACD if you want to try that

Don’t bother. It’s a solution looking for a problem.

^^ This.
Bob Stuart’s not fucking daft, mind. It’s a beautiful exercise in psychoacoustics and placebo as they have different coloured LED that comes on with an “authenticated” signal.

MQA is great…
…for Bob Stuart’s wallet.
I already have tidal, now I get MQA as part of it, win win
I banish thee over to pfm with the other MQA and ethernet cable wankpuffins.
Which is the best sounding Ethernet cable?

Try these Stu, I definitely noticed an improvement over the Nordost
