Really simple to navigate and sounds great, no interest in bit perfect, exclusive mode etc, etc, I listen to and enjoy the music not chase numbers and technical details that don’t prove that you will enjoy what you are listening to, isn’t that the whole point of music? I don't agree that there's a single "whole point of music." But, many of us increase our enjoyment of music when it sounds as close as possible to what's on the recording. I don't think attempting to play exactly what someone has purchased is to be looked down upon from a high horse either.

I agree with some of what you say in that we never know how close a recording is to the actual event, if there was an actual event, because we weren't there. However, to use an extreme example, we could take one's favorite music and keep reducing the quality until it isn't recognizable. Then go back up the quality scale. There are points on this continuum where music is more enjoyable than others. That's my point. Music can be more enjoyable for many if the quality is increased. This has noting to do with accuracy to an event, but accuracy to the recording as delivered by an artist. Teresa, UELong and Sal1950 2 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Plus, are Qobuz and Tidal really competition for a conglomerate? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

Don't they control enough of what we buy already? I don’t disagree. Middy 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
