I have only one room where I have a TV, Krell Integrated Amp, a pair of Dynaudio speakers and an Oppo 105. I stream music from Tidal Qobuz and from my home network. The Oppo does it all, I listen to my HiRes music and The TV is connected via HDMI ARC so I can watch movies and get good sound. I don´t care about 5.1 or 7.1 I would like to upgrade the Oppo 105 with new Network Player DAC but I can´t find anything with an HDMI ARC input. Does anyone knows of a Network Player with an HDMI ARC input? Martin

how did you grab this info about this video? All I can say is that playing this video directly from the Oppo Youtube app, it sounds very high quality HiRes music to my years. Martin

I need help upgrading my System. I have a small room for TV and Music currently using a Oppo 105D, Krell S300i, pair of Dynaudio speakers and a 1080 TV. I listen to my HiRes music, CDs, BD Shows, Tidal, watch Netflix, Cable TV, Youtube, Personal Videos and Pictures... and all with the audio and video processing of the Oppo 105. There has been some great youtube content with high quality music like this one https://youtu.be/MtuK-wiYNIw so I want the new system to be able to play youtube with the best sound quality. Oppo is gone and I am having a hard time finding the equipment that will allow me to do all of that, plus play 4K movies and Tidal MQA I can find a Oppo 205 for sale, but will need an external player for NetFlix and Youtube, like a Chromecast Ultra. But how well the Chromecast will sound via HDMI into the Oppo 205? This also creates a problem, the Oppo 205 has only one HDMI In port, so I will need to get an HDMI switch for the Cable TV and the Chromecast Ultra, which will probably make digital audio signal even worse. The new 4K TV I will get will have NetFlix and Youtube, but how good is the sound quality using the HDMI ARC or Optical Audio Out???? Is there any Equipment or combination of equipment that I should consider? Martin

I guess there should be a better power supply to improve the sound quality of these players. Can any one recommend one?

I do not understand this gapless playback problem, what exactly happens when playing Tidal?

I am glad to hear CCA is working with Tidal HiFi! Just ordered one. Thanks Cornan!

I am looking for a simple and low cost Network Audio Receiver that I can use to play Tidal and some music files I have in my computer on an older Stereo System. I came across three products: Chromecast Audio, Muzo Cobble Stone and Pyle Wireless Audio Receiver. Does any one have experience with these items and could share your experience. What I found so far is that the Chromecast Audio is having some issues playing Tidal in HiFi, and it is not clear if they have fix the problem yet.
