In Reply to: RE: Have you steamed any of these via ClassicsOnlineHD? posted by Ivan303 on September 30, 2016 at 08:13:55
Everything except the Chandos Copland is on ClassicsOnline (search using the album title for the J-Fi disc (Duo Sessions)). I listen to streaming primarily via headphones on my iPod with Dragonfly Red so comparisons are difficult, but in general I've found that when I do play these streaming services (or USB drives) through my home system, the discs still sound better although if they took all of my discs away I could live with the streaming.

Also stream to the main system as well through a purpose built MacMini > Audio-gd Master 7 DAC.
REALLY like the sound of ClassiscOnlineHD but it's problematic moving from track to track, sometime with HUGE delays between tracks even with a GigaBit Fiber ISP and the MacMini hooked to a Gigabit Router.
I have communicated to Classicsonlinehd about the problems you mention as well as telling them they do not do gapless playback, at least on my equipment. They totally deny any problems and always tell me I am the only one that has that problem. I do like there choice of recordings but Tidal has no problems for me

and with Gigabit Fiber and my Mac Mini hooked directly to the Gigabit router (400-600 mbps download speed) there should be no problems at my end.
But there is.
I believe their "gapless" implementation has become worse. I keep hoping that the folks who created the Tidal app for the LMS make one for the ClassicsOnline service.
If I see John Swenson there I'll ask him if he can put in a good word for us Classical listeners.
My plans include a MicroRendu streaming in the future, which supports LMS.
I have the house wired with Cat-5e, a Gigabit Router in the garage feeding ethernet to most rooms of the house so I'm ready to go.
