  1. I wasn't sure this is the right spot to ask but I'm having an issue with DSD2FLAC in that the transcodes are roughly equal in size to the DSD files extracted from an SACD disc. Historically, the conversions are closer to half the size of the DSD isles. JAVA is current so if anyone has any ideas what I may be doing incorrectly, please let me know.
  2. @The Computer Audiophile What criteria or reasons landed you with Proton? As I remarked earlier in the thread, I also use Proton and I think it was due to a recommendation but I can't recall exactly.
  3. I am 100% certain this has been answered prior and I apologize for adding chaff to the thread. MQA streams on TIDAL may be available indefinitely in some cases, correct? I was streaming this via a Lenbrook product and noticed it was MQA.
  4. I wonder if writers for the big two pubs will still use MQA content for reviews? If a track/format is not widely available to most consumers, I find it cheating.
  5. I moved to CloudFlare DNS with no performance impact. Like @The Computer Audiophile I've used Proton for comms and storage as well. Signal since 2018. I've been a news addict since middle school so I have used X for a long time and I don't see that changing. I find insular forums, like AS, substantially better for mental health. Substantially. The healthcare system I use was all in with Google Glass, first with opt-in during appointments and then standard policy. Doc told me so many people just didn’t believe the captures were actually confidential and opted-out so they ended the program. Next was back to humans without a surveillance scribe but now they are rolling out audio recording with no way to opt-out. For a 3-6 minute appointment, I think these docs can distill the necessary information and enter it via keyboard but I'm not wearing their stethoscopes. I didn't know about Vivaldi browser. I use Firefox Dev most of the time with the common blocking extensions but I know I'm kidding myself. This thread finally motivated me to start researching Pi-hole®.
  6. I all but assumed TIDAL would modify the tiers but I'm surprised it occurred this soon. Looking forward to a Stereophile column about the Lenbrook portal.
  7. Endless battle and I wonder how much uglier it can get? Apple’s Proposed Changes Reject the Goals of the DMA
  8. I apologize if someone already posted this: Apple Music will now pay 10% higher royalties to artists for Spatial Audio music (9 to 5 Mac).
  9. Predictions on how Stereophile will frame this?
  10. Free speech just needed a new paradigm to wreck it. Single purpose hobby communities / platforms like AS seem dramatically healthier than those like FB, IG, TT, X and others.
  11. Sanity check: There's no scenario where Lenbrook would purchase TIDAL, correct?
  12. I should know this but was Warner the only mega-label to actually invest in MQA? If so, how does the Lenbrook purchase impact Warner's involvement?
  13. Successful for sure. https://nypost.com/2023/10/17/show-must-go-on-u2-to-extend-residency-at-sphere-in-las-vegas/
  14. I keep coming back to Depeche Mode. If they could fill the place for enough nights, their history and visual approaches are perfect for a designed sphere experience. DP fan base would devour shows in the sphere.
