Amazon Music HD

Hi, I have a trial version of the Amazon Music HD app in my iMac, which is hooked up to my RME ADI-2 DAC via USB. Until today the app was correctly showing my device capability (i.e. that of the ADI-2 DAC) as 24bit/768kHz. Now it shows me 24bit/44.1 kHz and is playing at 16bit/44.1kHz even when the track quality is higher. I have reset the DAC to factory defaults but it persists. Does anyone know what the problem might be, or has anyone had a similar experience? I would also be interested to hear opinions about Amazon HD. Thanks!

I have the answer now: I just needed to change the setting in the Audio MIDI utility.

@garbo 

can you tell us more about the Amazon streaming? How is the quality? Can you use Jriver or Roon?

The sampling frequency is a minimum of cd quality, often superior. To my ears at least, it sounds that way. I don´t have Roon but imagine it should work. The app is easy to install and use, at least on a Mac. Give it a try for free and judge for yourself. I for one am impressed.
