    Link says it's lossless. Wish it were $15 for a family. Maybe it will push spotify.

    Signed up for 90 day free trial, so far so good. Can't hear any watermarking like tidal. However the app will not stream higher than 16/44.1 to my Chromecast audio.

    My Alexa doesn't play Despacito, only a crappy remix. Will Amazon Music HD have Despacito?

    Does anyone know of a way to get a line-out from any kind of Kindle fire? Those things are so cheap and have micro SD storage...

    Can you access Amazon Music with other apps?

    Nice! No mqa shenanigans. Wonder is there's any amazon prime benefits into it.

    If they integrate with Roon its over Tidal.

    Well, that's it for MQA. Will have a listen tonight. Next, Apple will enter the fray, I'd expect.

    Apple seems to not be interested in the MQA game, only Tidal and Qobuz want in.

    Apple next? Or Spotify? Regardless, it will require Roon integration for me to care.

    If only they had HQ music downloads...

    @Stuff Jones The FAQ talks about the difference in size of downloads:SD, HD, and UHD. Are you sure it doesn't?

    I'm assuming he means Amazon offering HQ downloads separately from Amazon music sub.

    Amazon offering lossless downloads for all the music you can purchase on their platform would be huge

    I actually don’t like seeing Amazon getting ahead on this. They are a monstrous juggernaut that keep putting everyone else out of business. I feel bad for Qobuz right now, but they had to know the big boys would go hirez at some point. Only hope it will prompt others to do it too.

    Trying it out. Not an insignificant upgrade from their standard service (I think it's 256kbps AAC?). I don't think it's quite as good as my CD rips, but not bad.

    Most obvious difference is that the volume is a lot louder than it was before.

    @rlow I think Qobuz fucked up their pricing. $20.00 a month for 16/44. That puts tidal and Amazon as better value propositions at the same price or lower.
