Songs that can be streamed at higher Res

So I just bought a new BS Node N130 and want to see what streaming is all about. Seeing as I have over 22xx CD’s, I was not in a hurry to go straight into a high end streamer, because if I find I don’t use it or I can’t hear a huge difference in sound quality, I’m not out big bucks.

So I just got a 4 month free Amazon Music subscription and I’m looking for High Res tracks that are well recorded and at least 24/192 or higher. Other than Opera and Rap, I’ll listen to almost anything you all suggest.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, Qobuz sounds better than Tidal and in addition only has around 60,000 high Rez albums as of about six months or so. I would try Qobuz right away… it’s free fora month… you can compare.

+1 Qobuz

 

I understand your interest in dipping a toe in. But keep in mind that unless the sound quality equals your other options it really isn’t going to tell you much. It gets compelling when streaming equals or exceeds your other options. With a bit of time most will wonder away from listening to the same old stuff and start exploring. The bands you love, but did not have other albums… adjacent albums, adjacent genre. A whole world opens up. Qobuz sounds better than Amazon and has 500,000 high resolution albums.

Anyway, enjoy. But when everything sounds as good or better than your library the dynamic really changes. Dipping your toe in may just give you a huge source of poor sounding music.
