| TIDAL I started using Tidal a few months ago and am very impressed with the sound quality. Way better than iTunes. Certainly as good as any CD I own and the 24/96 and above material is certainly as good as any digital files I have purchased on HDtracks.... | |

All I can say is; I have been using Audirvana Plus for several years now and have no plans to change anything. I am very pleased with the interface and the player works extremely wel... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Thanks cmjones (OP), this is an interesting discussion that has given me a lot of good ideas for demonstrating my system (some would say playing with). Especially now I have a Tidal subscription.

| Marvin Gaye "What's Going On" new 45RPM MOFI UD1S I am lucky enough to own all the MFSL UD1S pressings. My favorite so far is the Bill Evans Sunday Night At The Village Vanguard.

| What is the best sound system you ever heard? Easy for me to answer; this Magico/Solution system I described a few years back:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/2c-hifi-epiphany-worlds-best-systemNothing has come remotely close for me. Returning to the realms of reality, this is my curren... | |
