    Anyone here use Apple Music?

    I got a 3 month trial offer and with their new Classical app I keep hearing about on Times Radio I thought I'd give it a try. As I don't have any airplay enabled devices I thought I'd be limited to Bluetooth off my phone but I found out the Android app has Chromecast functionality, so I can...

    With great thanks to this forum I bought….

    …. I just wanted to say a big thank you to the various people on this forum who have been a big help in informing me, suggesting new things, and encouraging me in finding some new kit.

    Tidal bug

    Over the last few days, Tidal is scrolling through album tracks without prompting and will not play. I’ve taken the usual steps (reboot/checked cables etc). The same thing happens when I sling Tidal from my phone. No issues with Spotify or other sources. Any thoughts with respect to the root...

    Toes in the stream

    OK, so DAC acquired, courtesy of Strummer. Very early days but good/interesting so far. : ) Briefly tried with CD player and then Spot-iffy-hi-res* but that means laptop being hooked up. Next step I think is something to negate LT both for cleanliness of USB signal and also for ease of use...

    Using an Airplay Receiver (Raspberry Pi)

    Dear Linn Users, I don't know what proportion of Linn owners use Airplay with any of the DS line, so I hope these experiences might prove useful to others.

    The joys of buying a couple of new records a week vs. the freedom of streaming millions of songs from go

    The "Dac upscale" thread got me thinking about how streaming has affected music-listening habits: £240/year buys you roughly 75 used CDs, 375 in five years. Is it better to be able access millions of CDs or to thoroughly enjoy one or two new records every month? When I was a late teenager I...

    Several questions in one (incl DACs, amps, bedroom audio and streaming)

    Bit of a rambling one here Wammers so please bear with me. Bit of background - I have an HP Microserver with 32TB of space servering up all my media via Plex over a wired network throughout the flat. While I haven't been keeping up to date on the latest tech in hifi, I'm fairly comfortable...
