so no way to know which version they are sending...
Where does music come from that streams?
If I was creating my own streaming company, would I reproduce songs from a CD or from a record? So when I listen to my streaming source, qobuz, where do they get the music I listen to? Does the music come from master tapes? Well that would seem to be a pretty good place to get it
Sometimes I wonder, a particular song on qobuz doesn’t sound very good and I know I’ve heard it better in the past. And most stuff sounds pretty good and comparable to other sources.

@jacobsdad2000 , that is an absolute classic line! How do it know? |
Speaking as someone familiar with record companies, usually the master used for the cd is also supplied to the streamers. Some services, like Qobuz, request a higher bit rate file, in that case often the lp master is used, if a 24 bit lp master was indeed made. Apple is now asking for records to also be delivered in Spatial Audio where a separate master is made from what are called stems. )This can sound pretty cool or like a dogs breakfast.) |
Lots of BS in this thread. They often come from CDs, they picture the CD art usually. They also tell you what remaster it is. Sometimes several different versions are available but other times, the version you want isn’t. For higher resolution versions, see response by @yaluaka https://open.qobuz.com/album/0088807234916 Edit to add: the shared link doesn’t say that this is the Rudy Van Gelder Remaster but when you log in to your account, you see that. |
