In Reply to: No, Amazon is not the equal of Qobuz in hi-res. posted by tinear on April 25, 2021 at 06:57:26:
" . If there is something special about Amazon Music HD, that isn't required for Qobuz and Tidal, I'd appreciate someone pointing it out to me. These other apps played bit perfect when I ran them through the exact same tests this morning".
Yes, the Amazon HD player app does not allow you to avoid sending the stream to the computer's sound mixer where it is up or downsampled to the rate configured in the mixer unless by chance the mixer setting matches that of the incoming data. Or you manually reconfigure the mixer to match the incoming data rate. That is also the case with the Qobuz browser player but not the desktop version which provides for a WASAPI or ASIO session for Windows installations (select in "Speakers" in the play bar) and thus bit perfect streaming.
Tidal, of course, does not offer truly lossless hi-res only MQA encoded which is a can of worms. See the link.
Further neither Amazon or Tidal have the curation ( brief essays on the music, availability of the CD booklets etc.) that Qobuz does.
