[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 826732, member: 13448"] What quality files do you stream on Spotify and Tidal i.e. do you use the hi-res streaming service? Have you compared a streamed album over spotify/tidal to a hi-res (or at least red book cd quality) album played straight off the hard disk, if so how do they compare? The 8200MB's are quite neutral and dry amps. From what I understand the NAD is also a neutral sounding DAC and the few times I have listened to the Kef's they also sounded quite neutral. You should therefore have a system that is quite detailed in nature and picking up details in recordings should not be an issue. Remember that the sound engineering managing the recording can set the recording level for each recorded instrument, vocalist or sound that has its own microphone. Sometimes some sounds are recorded at a lower level than others. [/QUOTE]
