Amazon launches lossless high-res music service!

[g29]

Uggh, yeah. The desktop app doesn't do exclusive/direct mode.

Does it support JRMC's WDM with JRMC in exclusive/direct mode ?

Does it still have the bad feet taste?

Dove Milk Chocolate tastes good (not like their soap).

Now this is real Milk Chocolate yummmmm

Sorry M8, but if you haven't tried Belgium chocolate you don't what real chocolate is. Their chocolate puts to shame even Swisse chocolates.

Sorry guys, Belgium is the king in this bussines, and Suisse follows.

 

[Krunok]

That's the reduced chocolate version - the legend had more chunks to it!

True, but this was the first pic I found.

I've been doing it wrong for years. I though it worked like a stripper clip.

Maybe this is a good time to stop using a funnel to drink beer.

Ok, allow me to educate you guys..

This is cheap mass markett stuff, not true chocolate.

Christ how uncouth..., One triangle at a time mate , I know your Australian now but ...

I think he means during the biting process, so just one at a time.

Yup since Amazon Music HD was free for three months I signed up. Spent a few hours last night comparing same tracks on Amazon HD to Qobuz and heard the same loss of sound quality in Amazon HD you did. Amazon HD uses Windows mixer, does not let an external DAC take control like Tidal or Qobuz (at least not yet.) I will keep Amazon HD around for a few months but I don't see it replacing Qobuz for me.

So, is there still a difference when using Qobuz also with Windows mixer?

 

[AudioSceptic]

That would be "argumentum ad populum" and is not considered a valid argument. For example, fact that 40 billions of flies enjoy eating shit doesn't really prove shit is a good food.

Yes it does...for flies!

You gotta be KIDDING! Yuck!

Actually, it's the vomit taste (fact).

Opinion differed in our office between it being bad feet, or stale parmesan, whatever it is it's nasty.

I don't use the Qobuz desktop app, I use Audirvana+ to stream Qobuz on Windows 10 Pro. Audirvana+ bypasses Windows mixer and uses WASAPI exclusive mode connected to my DAC. That is what I am comparing Amazon Music HD to.

Delta wave would be good to test with, if you are convinced the master is the same.

Pretty well known that they treat the milk with butyric acid to extend shelf life, I guess they're competing with Twinkies and Keith Richardson. I'll stick with Callebaut.

 

[MSNWatch]

Can they compete on price? I don't know what the margins are. Otherwise I can imagine them moving to niche markets (hi-res on obscure labels. etc.) that the big players don't bother with. Either way it will be a struggle.

From what has been reported Tidal and Qobuz are both losing money and from Spotify continuing to hemorrhage money it doesn't look like something that can be fixed by more subscribers. I think the only way Tidal, Qobuz and the like survive is fewer subs at a significantly higher subscription rate. That is unlikely to be enough if Apple and Spotify offer HD music options.

So that is not a fair comparison, is it?
