Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service

I have found that even with the HD service, not all albums are lossless. There are still some MP3 quality recordings.

Sound quality for the HD and Ultra HD tracks is very good. But the interface when using Bluos on a Node is far behind Tidal.

I recently chatted with one recording engineer whom found some of work on Amazon that is being sold as HD when in fact it’s 16/44 .

If you pay attention, you will realize that this is just a matter of semantics. Amazon calls 16/44 "HD". And anything above that is "Ultra HD".


That said, I have found that a few titles are not in either. Just whatever the standard stream rate is, 320 kbps I am assuming.

Buy a Node 2i and call it a day...........
