This is what a “free” Tidal account means. Reactions: moreira85

lovinthehd Audioholic Jedi Sep 11, 2012 44,890 0 113 Oakridge, OR Aug 14, 2022 #4 Being ad free as well as getting higher quality stream is worth a few bucks to me (but not Tidal).

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Aug 20, 2022 #8 I did get the free trial for Apple Music. Is possible to stream lossless from my iPhone and air cast it to my home theater? What’s the best way for me to stream high quality music from Apple Music? I have an Amazon fire cube and network Yamaha rxA850

Not that the artists receive fair pay from Spotify, Pandora, etc, but they get paid. Pandora charges $5/month- the benefit is (supposedly) better sound quality but a big draw for me is that the ads are gone.

I think your question should really be in it's own thread, but after reading the manual I understand why the confusion. I have a Behringer Xenyx QX1202 USB mixer and while a great tool and very capable, it's manual is very poor as well. I'm guessing you want to use the Behringer U-Control UCA202 to take audio from a computer to a receiver via Optical or RCA Cables. Without downloading and installing the free software from Behringer and having the UCA202 at hand, I can't be 100% certain the USB interface is bi-directional, but I expect it is. Like @Trell suggested, try it and see. What do you have to lose?

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Aug 22, 2022 #14 Correct I want to use to stream hi res music from my phone to avr. I’ll give it a try
M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Aug 22, 2022 #15 I’ll try it but according to the specs it has a max bit rate of 16 bit. I can get that via AirPlay

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Aug 23, 2022 #17 Not sure I’m new to all this high res and lossless stuff
M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Aug 24, 2022 #18 I did try the behringer as a DAC it played analogue as 2.1. The volume seem to output much lower and my svs sub didn’t sound as alive. Just sounds much better to me airplaying it.

Possible some hires stuff is simply different mix/master but largely not an audible difference. The 44.1/16 cd format is lossless.
