I just purchased a music streamer and a tube amp (Yakin), Chi Fi and would like to hear what service you'all use and maybe why. Thanks, Mike

Wrong thread. You need to ask in Digital forum. Welcome to the best forum on the websters! Peace.

Agreed wrong forum but, I would suggest Tidal HiFI lossless and fantastic sounding. Its 20$ a month.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's.

I was hoping for a new service offering.
Imagine my disappointment.

Tidal HiFi for at home and Pandora Plus for at work.afterburnt wrote: »They didn't speak a word of English, they were from South Carolina.

Depends on what you want to spend. Tidal offers cd quality, but costs twice as much at 20 bucks a month. Others like Napster, Spotify, Deezer are around 10 bucks a month, but mostly only offer MP3 quality.
If you have a decent dac, playing these music services with MP3 quality makes them listenable at least. For sound quality alone, Tidal is king right now.HT SYSTEM-

My new in the box streamer is a Bluesound Node-2, It's what the guy was using when I auditioned the tube amp. I thought the combo was excellent.Main Family Room: Sony 46 LCD, Sony Blue Ray, Sony DVD/VCR combo,Onkyo TXNR 708, Parasound 5250,

Back to the music service. I was going to use amazon just because i have the prime service and some is already included...and I will do this. I can later switch to Tidal to see if it's worth it. Probably is worth it.Main Family Room: Sony 46 LCD, Sony Blue Ray, Sony DVD/VCR combo,Onkyo TXNR 708, Parasound 5250,

With a node2, you can take advantage of Tidal Masters and MAQ. Sign up for a 30 day free trial. Look for what's new and then the masters tab lots of good higher resolution music in there.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's.

I forgot to mention, I also have Amazon Prime. Sound quality wise, Tidal sounds better.Klipsch The Nines, Audioquest Thunderbird Interconnect, Innuos Zen MK3 W4S recovery, Revolution Audio Labs USB & Ethernet, Border Patrol SE-I, Audioquest Niagara 5000 & Thunder, Cullen Crossover II PC's.

Cool man, the Node 2 is a nice unit for basic streaming....even has a halfway decent dac in it. Let us know how you like it.HT SYSTEM-
