Hi. I’m new here I was an audio addict years ago and had a big setup. This was when CDs and big DACs ruled the landscape.
fast forward 15 years, 3 different houses and now two children and my listening has changed dramatically. The CDs are gone, the big 2way setup is gone, and it’s all spotify and casting to different speakers. Yep I went for convenience over clarity!
Early this year I bought a play5 gen 2 for my living room. It sounded good but wasn’t that exiting. Just nice and clear. I came across another at a good price a few months ago so I grabbed it and set up a stereo pair. This sounded a LOT better. Since then I have changed to tidal, but learned that Sonos doesn’t like their hi res audio. (I’m steaming off my iPhone 12) So a week ago I set up a Qobuz account and started streaming their Hires gear. This sounded so much better, it reminded me a lot of my “old glory days” just with a fifth of the physical footprint!
Rhys has me wondering what people use to feed their 5s. I don’t want to go back to CDs or records. It needs to be streaming based. Am I getting close to what these speakers can do? Or can I add something to give them a bit of a boost.
thanks for having me in your forums, and I look forward to hearing back from some experts.
