Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Spotify sounds better than lossless. What's wrong with my set up?

Any idea what does?
Or should I just abandon this foolishness and get a record player?

[SlimDevices: Touch] Spotify sounds better than lossless. What's wrong with my set up?

2011-10-18 Thread m@ver1ck

I've got the following system:
SB Touch - Rega DAC - Naim Nait XS - Rega RS5 speakers.

I've never entirely been happy with the s/q of my system. Recently, I
tried the dac with a laptop, and the system sounded a lot better, like
a lot of noise disappeared. The system sounded a lot less shrill and
more pleasant to listen to.

Enter spotify: When I listen to spotify through the sb touch - Rega
DAC etc, there is again this sense of calm, lowering of noise floor
etc. The system sounds really really good. However, when it's playing
lossless files, there is a little shrillness to it.

Any ideas?

I'm thinking of getting a gigabit router. Maybe the system is working
hard pumping lots of bits, and less will make it happier?
