Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Ok

Then what is the 'platform'?

Good question. There are quite a number of Linux or Android based choices available from Fiio, RPi, Sonore, SOtM, WiiM, et al.

Does the comparison not include gear?

Only to the extent it makes no difference comparing Tidal vs Qobuz playback quality using the same 44/16 content.

And to run either of these operating systems one requires hardware.

Along with other variables not addressed like system level power conditioning.

I look forward to clarification from the author since he's comparing Tidal and Qobuz, yes, but mentions dozens of different streamers - hardware+OS platforms.

I think he did here. Lots of reasons for the results to sound different when you compare them rather than the service.
