DVD audio I have shelves of them :) there is still a title or two made each year ( that format was better than SACD , which is based on useless DSD ). But finding supporting players can be an issue. MLP lives on as Dolby true HD the lossles audio,format for blue rays. That worked much better . They rebranded modified it a bit sells it truogh Dolby . Licencing parties has a hard time putting another brands name on their equipment and manuals . Spotify has bizarre account limitations even for premium so Tidal becomes more interesting again despite worse playlist handling and not very good recommendations . Spotifys personal playlist of the week really works . I may have to look at another music service altogether . No service can really replace a personal collection it can only act complementary and expose one to new stuff if it's good I buy a CD or lossles download . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
