totaldac D1 server

[PhilP]

Hi Guillaume,

Did you ever try using Qobuz with the Totaldac server? What level of integration do they support - it's not clear from their web-site.

Did you buy the Totaldac? You obviously loved it so I sort of assumed that you would

Thanks,

Philip

Hi Philip, yes I bought it and no I haven't yet tried Qobuz streaming with it yet. I'll try and get to it ASAP and report back. To be honest I've just been too busy playing music to test anything lately. It's that good.

Congratulations on your purchase - as you imply, it's great when you finally 'complete' a system and can then just listen to music with no nagging doubts that there's something that you really need to change.

I had a look through the TD user guide which is now up on their website and I think you will probably have to access Qobuz using the iPeng plug-in or the LMS plug-in which sounds a bit of a pain. I must admit that I'm really looking for tighter s/w integration in a streamer - I think only the Aries and NAD M50 offer this and both have downsides. The Aries perhaps doesn't offer the best sound quality whilst the NAD includes an optical drive for ripping and I'm not keen on having that type of device integrated into a hifi component. I will persevere with iTunes/AIR for now and revisit the streamer question later. Hopefully Qobuz will still be around by then - as a back-up I have signed up to try TIDAL when they launch next month.
