hannoy63 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Airplay Spotify from iPad/iPhone to the Aries or use Qobuz or Wimp depending on your location. Link to comment
hfvienna Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 How long does it take until people understand that asking for "the best" does not make any sense, until they tell us best what! In terms of streaming services this could be "biggest selection of titles overall , classic music , jazz , hiphop or god knows what is your favourite music . Or it could be sound quality. On low bandwith connection or on T1 backbone. Or best proce ? Or best looking website ? I would suggest to block automatically all requests for "the best" . Link to comment

How long does it take before people realize best means all of the above and I think I said best quality anyways! They all are going to have a variety music. More then I could ever listen to in a life time. Link to comment

2string1 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Sorry what is CD-booklets? Link to comment
Kalkant Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 The small thin book which comes with the CD giving information and fotos. Link to comment
2string1 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Well what CD? I'm confused... Link to comment
Mystic Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Curious about what's your issue with Tidal? IMO it's great and match it with Roon and it's a total winner. Link to comment

There might be a second best for you [emoji39]. -- Finest kind, Chris If I could pay for Tidal through Paypal I would do it. I've heard horror stories about once they have your credit card that it's hard to cancel if you wish to do so. I did the trial and like it. Link to comment
Kalkant Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Well what CD? I'm confused... Okay, I could have written "album". The info sheet, which comes along with the album/CD, when you buy it physically. I appreciate this, because meta data of all streaming services is rather bad when it comes to classical music. The booklet gives the neccessary information, often containing essays on the subject. Link to comment

I've subscribed to Tidal twice using a credit card and had no problem at all canceling either time.

audio.bill Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Paying via PayPal is not really any different from using a credit card as far as risk. Credit cards issued from credible banks have fraud protection, so if you continue to be charged after cancellation just dispute the charge and the issuing bank will take care of it for you.

sockpit Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 For me, Qobuz all the way. By FAR.It is available "anywhere". Just email them and they can manually add you. Not true. I asked them nicely to add me manually and they said they would not because U.S. is not yet their market. Coming soon, they promised . . . I'd benefit from a step by step VPN tutorial. I've tried that too, but qobuz site denied me access. Link to comment

You click the cancel button and your account works until the date you paid upto. I'm pretty sure you can pay via PayPal of you want. Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment

2string1 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I have an account with Tidal and I'm trying to get the 6+1 prepaid deal but it won't let me do it. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment
2string1 Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 I get as far as signing in to my paypal account and it gives my a tab to click that says agree and pay. I'm not sure what I'm agreeing too and how much. Don't dare to go any further. Link to comment
