from QOBUZ and TIDAL and then stream whatever ClassicsOnlineHD has which is supposed to be up to 24/192 and I suppose it is some form of PCM but I have no idea how it's encoded.
ClassicsOnlineHD is a CPU hog, actually it the playback engine OraStream that is the CPU hog.

This is beyond bandwidth hogs, now we're getting into the realm of bandwidth black holes.
Where are the audio reviewers when you need them? We need them to tell us how the treble is much more delicate, the midrange much more liquid , the bass deeper, tighter and faster and that the general image has a broader and deeper soundstage and that the silences are blacker and more profound than usual. But only when you are streaming faster than 300 Mbs.
Can you confirm any of this?

But at least now I get SOUNDS!
Before it was dropouts and hesitation between tracks and lagging while the buffer filled and on and on.
Doubt I'll be tearing the sheet rock off the walls to rewire with CAT7 any time soon.
Even the SONOS (no buffer) works without problems when streaming Lossless FLAC.
