Ok, I think I've got you now after reading your follow ups. And I'm pretty sure I said each to their own taste somewhere!
Well, you used the word "detestable", which is kind of loaded, but didn't specify the menu experience, not the sound quality. I agree, if all I had was the menu on my SB Touch/LMS "app" it wouldn't be the greatest way to view and select music. Using Qobuz via ROON is a whole 'nother level though. I have a teeny MB Pro screen and it gives me all I want, someone like Abe Colliins here with the monster screen can see his collection from across the room!
I've got 2 bad knees and 2 bad eyes. It's really hard for me to get up and go over to my CD collection (somewhere between yours and Mali's in quantity) select a disc and then go to the system, put it in, take it out afterwards...so even for discs I have in my collection I just use the streamer. Yes, I could rip etc, but I've had little luck with the results (getting ACCURATE meta-data, etc.) and Qobuz is pretty flawless. The only album they haven't had (so far) is the Lintu/Sibelius I mentioned (but for 1 track from The Legends), and that's too bad, it is superb!
Oh, and for ME anyway, listening on the big system tells me much more about the music than through my crappy MB Pro speakers, or even headphones plugged into it.
Now, tell me more about those Anti-Cables, quale et la differenza between levels 1, 2, 3 & 4? I need (yes wife, need, I'm relocating speakers and I need a new 10 or 12 ft. pair). What's a good spot to land in that lineup for someone that isn't a cable freak (hey, no insult meant to cable freaks) and can't discern much difference between cables? Guess you can add two bad ears to the knees and eyes. I think I looked at them and they weren't crazy expensive, and I don't think I've heard a bad word about them around here.
Have a great weekend, I see you're in SoCal, I'm here up North where it's going to be a bit blistering for several days.
