  1. I have a Qobuz 320 kbs streaming subscription and then purchase my favourite albums in red-book or hi-res formats. I can stream these at CD quality or download them to my iPad using the Qobuz iPad app at their full resolution. I can then play hi-res files on the iPad - the iFi iDSD indicator confirms that it is a genuine hi-res stream. Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile
  2. I already have lossless streaming from Qobuz, together with an excellent classical music catalogue that can be searched by composer, performer etc with several filters. I can also stream any albums I purchase in Hi Res using their sublime service, which also offers discounts on Hi Res album purchases. Purchased albums don't have an expiry date to download or stream. Even if I cancel my streaming subscription, I can still stream or download my purchased albums. I have trialled other services and still prefer Qobuz. Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile
  3. The 5 volts is the bit that matters. The supply required is 5 volts with a maximum current requirement of 1 amp. Your supply can deliver 5 volts at up to three amps, but will just deliver the current needed of less than or equal to 1 amp. Your power supply actually has three times the needed current capacity so may be a bit more stable and run cooler than if it was running close to it's 1 amp maximum.

  4. I use iFi IDSD Nano for travelling. When I first used this DAC/amp I was amazed by the sound quality from a £165 bit of kit. Internal battery so works OK with IPhone /pad. Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile
  5. I signed up for Qobuz lossless streaming a couple of months ago and find it excellent. The user interface is now much better than it was during an earlier trial,and I find that they offer all the (mostly classical) albums I want. Many albums come with a booklet produced by Qobuz which is useful. The wide selection, of classical albums makes it possible to compare performances of a single piece by different orchestras and soloists, which Is a key part of the music experience for me. I don't know what the selection is like for other types,of music, though the Jazz selection looks extensive. Both streaming and download quality ( up to Hi-res) are excellent and I can store music for offline play. If Tidal goes then Qobuz may offer a good alternative for some folks. This costs £200 per year which is less than I pay for a Sky TV subscription and less than the cost of a daily newspaper, yet I get more hours of use from the Qobuz subscription than from the other two put together. Seems pretty good value to me! Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile
