    TIDAL Music Streamng Service Launched Today

    I live rural and am connected with CenturyLink at 20Mbps. I experienced that only with a single album tract. I hit skip and it went away. So I'm unsure whether that was a recording, TIDAL server, or Internet issue. I would assume TIDAL is using high-end, high-volume servers with some global...

    TIDAL Music Streamng Service Launched Today

    I signed up for TIDAL and the fidelity is superb! I'm using both iPeng/ickStream (play) and TIDAL apps (search, save). You can simultaneously have multiple access windows to your TIDAL account. Choose the UI that best meets your needs, is more robust, or intuitive for you.

    alternative to Squeezebox streaming???

    I know this thread is old, but some might still find this possibility interesting. "Apple has non-publicly introduced high-def (also known as high-rez/lossless or the traditional high-fidelity) audio into the new iOS 8 mobile operating system...The high-def audio output would come through the...

    TIDAL Music Streamng Service Launched Today

    "Has the support of 16 manufacturers (whatever that really means)..." Some of those listed claim their inclusion was premature. I'm definitely looking to sign up for TIDAL, but have to modify my current system (ickStream/Logitech Media Server/computer=?) OR buy a new higher-end integrated...

    System #425 (Purity)

    As you know, the digital out connections on the Squeezebox pass the signal directly to the outboard DAC of your choice. The improvement is clearly noticeable in the music's dimensionality...or as we say with good wine..."complexity." As you are likely aware, the DL3 uses Texas Instrument's...

    System #425 (Purity)

    The Squeezebox Touch uses the AKM AK4396 entry-level consumer DAC (http://ow.ly/8AEbL) while Apple selected the Cirrus Logic CLI1560B0 (upgrade from 4) for the iPhone 4S (http://ow.ly/8AFkh). Of course, these respective DACs are only part of the overall EE architecture and may not tell the...

    For now, I've put the purchase of an AV receiver on hold and purchased another Squeezebox Touch (SBT)($225) for the living room (shown above). This provides "home-wide" audio and our his/hers iPhone 4S function as remotes. Note: The SBT does not provide as good of audio fidelity as the iPhone...

    Believe It or Not!

    I've lived rural in the Rocky Mountains for 16 years. My location is too remote for cellphone reception. I was streaming music via my iPhone 4S to my new ML Purities when the music did a fadeout...the iPhone rang! I answered and I had two-bar service! It appears the electrostatics function as...

    Purity's "high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier"?

    For now, 2.1 or 5.1 channel audio. So I'm researching the various AV Receivers, with pre-amp outs. Also, my wife and I like using our iPhones as remotes, so a proprietary app or AirPlay is necessary. I am curious why ML would state "To achieve ultimate performance with the Purity use of the...

    Purity's "high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier"?

    No apology necessary. That's how we learn. I'll simply read and re-read until the fog dissipates.

    New Member from High in the Rocky Mountains

    I purchased some ML Motion 4s a couple of years ago to upgrade an old 2.1 system that I originally build into my mountain home back in 1994. See http://lenslight.com/HaciCollage.htm The quality improvement was noticeable, but now being retired I wanted something more. While I occasionally...

    Purity's "high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier"?

    Thanks! tsv_1 I just plugged my iPhone 4S into the line-level connectors using a short cheap cable and I must say the sound is rather good (streaming MOG @ 320kbps over 20Mbps Internet connection), comparatively speaking to my ML Motion 4 and sub-woofer, despite what many consider the "cheap...

    Purity's "high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier"?

    The Martin Logan Purity line included "internally powered, high-resolution 200-watt switching amplifier." Neither their website or literature provides much detail regarding these amplifiers. Supposedly, "to achieve ultimate performance with the Purity use of the RCA line level connection is...

    Need Advice on Building a System Using ML Purity

    Gentlemen: I hope I'm making this post/question in the appropriate/best section of the Forum. I currently have a 2.1 system in my living room: ML Motion 4, older JVC receiver RX-317 and matching CD player. We subscribe and mostly listen to both Pandora (192kbps) and MOG (320kbps) using an...
