Amazon has lowered it's price $5.00 for it's HD service to 7.99 for prime users. With Apple also now offering a HD service the competition is heating up. Will Tidal and Qobus follow and lower their prices?
When Apple roll out their HD service in June, how do I stream their music through my external DAC? Their Apple TV box doesn’t have any digital outs except HDMI. I can’t think of a way to do it.
The problem with Amazon HD is that streaming is throttled to a low resolution based on the traffic load (undefined by Amazon what does "heavy load" mean).
Furthermore, they seem ignorant of how Hi-Res streaming works. According to their marketing, they will stream CD-quality up to 850 kbps? As a matter of fact, 1411 kbps is the full CD-quality rate.
