They had to keep up with Amazon. Too bad Qobuz is still lacking some titles. Tidal will probably lower their pricing next week.

Wait, What proof do you have that it's not in HD if you cancelled it? I am hoping that Tidal and Qobuz would lower their subscription price now that Amazon joined the Hi-Res club.

i thought iTunes was already at end of life. Apple replaced it with the Apple Music app

Gus, Don't lose sleep over this. Tomorrow will be better

Can you confirm that the 5.4 Mb file you downloaded is a FLAC? If so, why are Amazon FLACs so low?

i have a dragonfly myself, but i haven't used it in a while. As far as i know you have a choice if you want the Dragonfly to upscale it or not. Don't you just set it to it's max res like 192 for example on windows sound setting or midi settings on Mac, then it will always upscale it?

I'll try it later. As of last night there is no indicator on my BlueOS app if i am playing 24/192 or 24/96, I just says Amazon HR or Amazon CD. I did update my Bluesound devices last night. I'll test it on my Node and PowerNode tonight. I have the 1st Gen Node N100 and PowerNode N150 by the way. Hopefully, Amazon and Bluesound will update the UI soon

If Amazon didn't care about audiophile then why did they create Amazon Music HD? I am an amazon prime member and never used their already free music service to prime members. This definitely caught my attention and i signed up for 90 days.

Yup! Roon needs to make a choice here. They may possibly lose subscribers because of this. I love Roon, but supporting only 2 music services maybe their downfall. Glad I didn't buy the lifetime subscription.

Just tested it with my Bluesound POWERNODE and it works Great. Shows up as HR and CD. Wish Bluesound had a category for all HR tracks. I tested Qobuz a few months ago and I always thought FLAC sounded better than MQA. Well, after listening to Amazon HD I can definitely confirm that I like FLAC better. More detailed IMHO than MQA. Tracks seem louder as well. What do you guys think? It's too early to say, but think this is a winner from Amazon. Now what to do I do with my Raspberry Pi Ropiee? Roon unfortunately doesn't support Amazon and I doubt that they will.

This announcement may not sound like a big deal but it is. Tidal and Qobuz gets competition, but with a lower price. I signed up myself and will test it on my Bluesound Node and PowerNode. Maybe this is why my Bluesound devices have been asking to update for a few days now. Jay-Z wont be sleeping tonight. Will Tidal lower their price tomorrow? RIP Qobuz. You never had a chance. Roon integration would be nice, but i doubt it.
