QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Dec 7 2017, 05:20 PM) Bro, interest to know that is TIdal Hifi Music quality has much different with Spotify Premium Music quality?? The price is double up... Spotify Premium offers at most, MP3 (Lossy Audio) at 320kbp/s while Tidal Hi-Fi allows streaming of Lossless audio at 16bit/44.1kHz (and if I'm not wrong, Tidal Master(MQA) allows up to 24bit/96kHz ). Basically, compressed audio vs lossless audio. Usually, lossy compression will cause the really high frequencies to be lost, and can result in distortion in some cases. In lossless audio, the audio is also compressed but encoded in such a way that no details are lost, which will also result in a bigger file size. Usually, the difference is negligible on lower end audio gear but if the same recording is mastered differently for lossy and lossless audio, then the difference will be much more noticeable. So it comes down to whether or not you feel that the small difference in details is worth it to you and/or you have the necessary audio equipment for the said details. Putting that aside, the pricing not too bad la bro.  I sometimes buy JPop Hi-Res albums and those can easily cost RM100 for a single album.  |

But once plug in Sony IEM, huge improve! Hence i doubt will have further improvement or not if add in a DAC Amp.... The difference will be there but negligible. Unless you change your source, the improvement will not be as noticeable. |

QUOTE(vincetee06 @ Dec 7 2017, 06:06 PM) The Tidal Master music file can be support by Phone too? Found this Tidal have family plan like spotify too, u guy got any group here in forum who created for sharing slot? i can't found any thread about this... The Tidal Master is currently available for desktop only. Even if there is for phone, I'd doubt you would use it on your phone as it'll drain your Data really quickly unless you have unlimited data plan. If I recall, I don't think there's a thread for that.  |

QUOTE(:+:JerRy:+: @ Dec 7 2017, 07:12 PM) Spotify Premium is using OGG format, MP3 has already obsolete. Spotify Premium has more choices of songs and the sound quality is very good. Hmm... haven't used spotify for a long time. Thanks for correcting me on that. However, OGG is still Lossy and is only slightly better than mp3, AAC at 320kbps can provide better results. The reason I don't use spotify is the lack of JPop |

QUOTE(nazeeman @ Jul 2 2019, 11:53 PM) Hi guys, im about to buy the Sennheiser HD 559. is it my creative sound blaster z pci-e enough for it? Thanks in advance The Sound Blaster Z has an output impedance of 22 Ohms... So I wouldn't really recommend pairing it with the Sennheiser HD 559 with a low impedance of 50 Ohms.
