Hello team
I am new to this community and also new to the HiRes sound topic. I decided to ditch my soundbar for the Klipsch The Fives and heaving better and clearer sound instead of surround soun. I bought the speakers a few day ago and I'm not regretting anything. The Fives sound very nice. I am now also testing Tidal and would like to have the best possible experience with the sound quality. As written I am pretty new to this topic and not sure what I exactly need to have the best possible quality. Currently I won a OnePlus 7 Pro phone which supports aptX HD and LDAC but when streaming over Bluetooth I honestly have to say that Tidal is not much better than Spotify. It's louder but when I adjust the volume to the same level I think it's the same quality. But I also think that even with aptX HD and LDAC the bluetooth connection is not really transmitting the CD quality. Or are the difference not so big as I thought?
In the internet I read a lot about network streaming, DAC and so on. Therefore some questions. (I have to mention that I like my setup as clean as possible)
Based on the specs The Fives have a built in USB DAC. Does this mean I can connect and old phone directly to the USB and use my current phone with Tidal LINK to remotly control the phone on the speakers and I will have the quality I want?
Another case I am thinking of is buying the Fiio M9, connect this directly to The Fives and also control the M9 with my phone and Tidal LINK. Will this scenario give me better sound?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Marko
