But having choices, I still preferred my own files. To be sure, the difference had shrunk enough to no longer diss 'serious' buzzing to the Qobuz. If your mileage varies, salutations to ye, self flagellations for me. Streaming Qobuz even at 24/96 was still a bit drier and flatter, serving up the same files stored locally still juicier and richer. All hail the mighty tiger fish, LHY Audio's namesake. What speed limit? Shuttling between local and cloud files had obviously narrowed the difference gap. Thankfully their gang hasn't the funds to patrol our country-bumpkin lanes. The Ethernet Police knew all this going in to deny any potential for sonic improvements beyond. Skinny, blue, cheap and utterly ghastly, it nonetheless passed data without a single glitch. Before the 'approved' cable at left rang the bell, I used a 0.5m bottom-of-the-barrel generic. Now I could toggle between local and cloudy files until the cows came home which in Ireland actually never go anywhere to need coming home from.
