Holy cow, how much bandwidth will that take.  LOL

Unlike other streaming services and technologies that take high resolution FLAC or PCM music files and then reduce them in size using a variety of compression, encoding, decoding and folding techniques to fit in a "CD Quality" or smaller sized file from the original studio recording, PrimeSeat streams audio in full high resolution DSD and PCM audio.

Yes, the evil MQA rears it's ugly head again! Which, of course, 90+% of the audio world owns (often recently purchased) DAC's incompatiable with!

It's very interesting!  And sounds very good indeed here.  

Whether it's with the $549 iFi Audio iDSD Micro BL DAC or the Merging Technologies NADAC Player 8. 

 

Nice to see the PrimeSeat team (IIJ, Korg, Sony, Saidera) take their DSD 5.6 MHz, DSD 2.8 MHz and 24/96 PCM streaming service that started in late 2015 and extend it to Quad DSD Stereo.  

 

Way to go, PrimeSeat.

I listened to some 5.6Mhz yesterday with no issues (except I thought the Blue Coast concert was suprisingly not recorded all that well).  Will try 11.2Mhz today.  Thanks for the heads up Brian.

DSD format have own compression (lossless) - DST. It is capable for unpacking pure software way.

Dropouts galore for me on a wired 250 Mbps connection using an iFi nano iDSD. Tried my Korg DS-DAC-100 on another Mac with the same result. Not a good experience for me on either the DSD64 or DSD128 stream.
