Sonarworks Reference & True-Fi

Sounds really clean with those settings. Bass is very detailed, not loud or thick - hearing more detail in Mr. Jones’s bass lines in The Rover and In the LIght in Physical Graffiti, and in Zeppelin III, albums I know well that have a lot of layers, the cliché of just hearing a detail I hadn’t noticed before in That’s the Way. Listening through my humble xDSD with a balanced cable and with ifi iusb3 right now. Think I prefer the sound here to what I was getting with SoundID, although I haven’t gone back to do a comparison yet.

Qobuz is nice - there’s a forum thread here which showed more information in qobuz in a test which made me look at it again: Qobuz vs Tidal -- Frequency Spectrum analysis - I also use it through Audirvana, (also French!) but the qobuz app itself works well and switches easily between sources, and integrates well with Sonaraworks. Also have Tidal and have used Amazon HD (pretty good too), lately have been going back to Qobuz mostly.
