That's just so good - the co-driver - "Keep the push on!" when flat in 6th

And sounds bloody good with its external PSU

Blimey - just hooked up Auralic's linear PSU Very significant improvement in every respect. Much more lifted, wider, liguid, musical... everything Not sure it's worth its price tag though - plenty of other PSU's around for a lot less dosh, but certainly, there's no going back

Take a look at this review http://www.audiostream.com/content/auralic-aries-mini Basically the Aries Mini - with external PSU - is the Bluesound's sonic equal He did say matching is important (don't they all). His amp is a rather delicious Leben CS-300 XS I have my Mini running 'as-is' so int...

Taken from here: http://blogsv2.qobuz.com/qobuz-blog-en/2015/05/13/discover-qobuz-sublime-everything-you-need-to-know/ Does Qobuz Sublime’s Hi-Res really offer the best possible audio quality? Yes. The files are exactly the same as those offered without the Sublime subscription. Our suppliers...

Thankyou very much for coming in - was going to buy another speaker, so for the cost of a fiver for the app, you've done me well :)

Blimey, it works! ;)

Hmmm, wireless audio sender. That is a solution, and thanks for the reply These units need powering though, so outside and room switching is not that easy Plus it's another box to faff with The sender is the only fix I suppose? May have to look for another speaker as it's only for casual...

I've got a Loewe speaker to go I use for outside, and occasionally in different rooms in the house https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CVQU35I/?tag=pinkfishmedia-21 It's good quality sound, having 2 full range drivers and a base port However, it's bluetooth only and now I would like to...

I just think it's a bit of a con that you effectively have to pay TWICE to get true hi-res Lame, when they sales pitch the hi-res thing so highly. It was what attracted me to qobuz It's only now I'm 'in' and fully realise what's going on, see that I've been sold up the river Really, on a...

But my point is what you get on Sublime subscription is not hi-res, but CD quality

Thanks for the reply - yes, pretty much what I've decided and what I did today was buy a matched set of 4 Sovtek EL84M from Watford Valves. Chap I spoke to pretty much said the same as you, and that the Sovtek's were what he uses in his home small amp and that he really rates them Leben...

Is it possible? Seems to me it isn't, although qobuz advertises it as such Their hi-res is 44.1/16 CD quality which is not really 'hi' (96Khz etc) Are there any streamed true hi-res from qobuz?

Thought I would dig this thread up, as: 1) My valves need replacement in my CS300 2) Be good to get an update on folks are getting on with their choices from a few years back 3) Any advice on reputable sources for recommended valves appreciated For the last 9 years my Leben has been...
