Systemic Development > Digital Audio Devices
What are your thoughts on Hi-Rez v. NOS Redbook?
P.I.:
I know that digital audio is kind of an us and them topic. I'm curious as to where all yuze gyze land on this topic.
I think a lot of this comes down to listening to music for pure enjoyment or getting ALL THERE IS out of the data.
Speak!

Hiya, Dave!
I'll <sort of> answer your question.
Much of my music listening is streamed. I use streaming to discover new music, and to enjoy 'found' artists' music. When I want to really get into the music, I listen to physical media. I've been worrying less about critical listening and more about just enjoying the music. My favorite DAC is limited to no higher than 96kHz, so I usually listen to Redbook quality.

Hi, Mike. Good to see you.
I've got several DACs (mega modified HRT Pro, Schiit Bifrost & Yggdrasil) and I stil keep going back to my hot rodded Tranquility DAC because it just makes music. That ancient TDA1543 with the mods Eric and I came up with are just my goto, could be my ego 😁. Of course I have 75 year old ears, but so what? I love me some toons.
Like TMAZZ says: It's all about the music.

The original... not the + . It is out on loan because it isn't my kind of thing and it deserves to be used. It is a very good DAC.
I also have a Soekris 1021 R2R kit that I haven't had time to finish due to everything going on here.
