What's new in Sonic Oracle: May update
Hey,
for those who still don't know Sonic Oracle: it's a music discovery tool for Tidal and Qobuz. You type in an artist, pick a depth (Essential, Balanced, or Adventurous), and it builds a permanent playlist of connected artists saved directly to your library. Not a station. Not an algorithm pushing what a platform wants you to hear. Real discoveries based on what listeners with similar taste enjoy.
Big round of updates this week. Here's what shipped:
My Discoveries is new. Your search history is now saved. Every discovery you've made, all in one place. Tap any to revisit it.
Click-to-discover lets you click any artist in your results to start a new search from them. Chain discoveries together until you land on something you never knew existed.
Track variety is improved. Playlists now feature different tracks each time, even for the same artist. Run the same search twice, get fresh songs both times.
Speed. Discovery results are near-instant. Repeat playlists create in about 1 second.
Deeper database. Coverage expanded to nearly 3 million artists and over 3 million albums.
Better niche results. Obscure seeds that previously returned too few matches now pull back stronger results.
K-pop, J-pop, C-pop. Full genre coverage for Asian pop including city pop, visual kei, and more.
Landing page refresh. Better mobile layout and updated social previews when sharing links.
More coming. As always, let me know what's working and what's not.
I built this because I personally needed it and nothing like it existed. Still a solo developer, still shipping improvements every week.
Free to try at https://sonicoracle.music/ Three playlists, no credit card needed.

Help pick an end point!
Not a total expert with the digital stuff, wanting to move away from MacBook to DAC via usb, and make use of a Mac Mini Roon core to a Roon end point with coax output to the DAC.
No library playback, Roon-Qobuz streaming only, don't need processing, etc. and the DAC is limited to 24/96. Hoping for easy and reliable use, not a bunch of futzing around... AI says to consider output clock quality, output driver design, and galvanic isolation - I can deal with power supply at a future point.
In no particular order, a not-so-short list is:
Holo Red, PS Audio AirLens, Sonnet Hermes, Metrum Ambre, Lumin U2 Mini, Denafrips Arce, Limetree Bridge, Bricasti M5, Eversolo T8 (don't love the screen...), Silent Angel M1T, Matrix TT-1, Volumio Rivo
Most of these seem to check all or most of the boxes, used availability varies. Some a bit older than others (worry about support, compatibility, etc.). Reviews seem generally positive.

Full library not available in android auto.
If i go to the artists section in the library on android auto, It starts at A and then goes to like M or N and then skips all the way to T and thats about all it shows. if i click the a-z search on the left all those missing letters are greyed out. The library shows everything if I look it up on my phone. Has anyone else had this problem? Probably a weird issue but thought I'd ask.
