*Including the streaming providers, who showed little interest when I contacted them.Tidal VS Deezer VS Qobuz - KanedaK 00:00:30 12/05/20 After I solved this problem, local ripped files and streamed versions sound indistinguishable (to me YMMV). Ever hear someone say that digital in general (or streaming in particular), sounds вЂhardвЂ™? I can't help thinking this could be why in at least some cases. Eliminating the clipping is the first step, if that is in fact what is happening in your system. This question came up in another thread, and the OP was inundated with suggestions about which magic USB cable to buy. I also wonder how much money gets spent on faulty solutions. I see debates about which streaming service does the best job delivering the exact same digital file to your DAC. Judging by the discussions I see on this site alone, I'm guessing quite a few.

I wonder how much business the lossless streaming services are losing due to people not actually getting the SQ theyвЂ™re paying (extra!) for. My Modi Multibit sounded like a whole different animal after getting things right. I think youвЂ™ll find, as I did, that a signal that isnвЂ™t clipping sounds better than one that is. Streaming apps are a little more challenging to set. On a player app, you can also play a calibrated test tone through a metering plugin to accomplish calibration. Only VLC has a little tick mark on their volume slider denoting unity gain. I have found that virtually all digital music apps with their own volume controls have this problem - both web-based streamers and standalone player apps. Set the meter to 'Peak' mode and experiment as described above.

I'm sure there is something on the Windows platform that does something similar to SoundSource or AudioHijack. You need it to sample the output of the player or streamer app directly. What you need is probably a VST metering plugin that incorporates some type of clipping indicator.

If you use a Windows machine, youвЂ™ll need to do a little research to find the appropriate software to accomplish the same thing. Reducing the volume downstream doesn't 'un-clip' a clipped source.

NOTE, selecting the DAC as the output device grays out the System volume adjustment (on a Mac anyway) so you must set the source app correctly. This will actually be about 2/3 of the way up on the slider. Play an album with really loud peaks (Chick CoreaвЂ™s Trilogy works well) (another good candidate would be the infamous Telarc 1812 cannons) and adjust the volume down until the little meters stop turning red on the loudest passages. For those who use a Mac, buy Rogue Amoeba SoundSource ($20). Clipping is bad and will sound bad, and you will notice immediately once it is gone.ДЇortunately this problem isnвЂ™t that hard to fix- its just that nobody seems to know about it*. This app has small meters that change color when the signal clips. I discovered this after installing SoundSource on my Mac. The Tidal app (along with many other audio apps) actually applies gain at maximum volume setting, which results in clipping on loud passages.

You might (as I did) assume that full volume on a digital slider would provide unity gain (one of my player apps actually states this), but youвЂ™d be wrong. If it is all the way up (to the right), which is the default, there is your problem. Listening to streamed audio from a PC? Not sounding the same as directly played CD? Here is my suggestion from this thread:ДЄssuming you are using the streaming app on a computer (I use a Mac but that is not important to what follows), open the app and look at the volume control setting within the Tidal app. It isn't just you- but it's also not an innate fault of streaming. I have found this to be the case 99% of the time regardless of album.Д«ut many people will defend streaming to the death because they literally don't have the Hi rez downloads or the original Redbook CD ripped thru a lossless program to even honestly directly compare, or verify the same albums so they think it sounds as good, and it is good, but its just not as good without a lot of hassleДЄs I said in a similar thread, I think I might know what is happening. The HD tracks direct from the FLAC file is basically like comparing listening to MP3 on everything with streaming.

I then got the 24 bit download from HD tracks.ДЇorget it not even close. that I have put plenty of time in with.ДЄn example recently the new Tool Album Fear Inoculum came out on many streaming sources. Mainly most people streaming are using generic devices to play back thru a headphone jack or other 200 dollar all in one DACs.Д«ut I can assure you I have done extensive testing and streaming cannot sound as good as most FLAC files direct from your equipment. have all been far less hi rez than direct FLAC files off your hard drive. Streaming almost anything whether Youtube, Spotify etc.
