HD Music Stream Service

HDtracks has just announced its upcoming hi res streaming service, HDmusicStream. This service will allow you to access the same, vast hi res lusic library offered by HDtracks but as an online streaming platform.  Launching very soon!  

They are producing some informational videos about HDmusicStream right now. We will have lots more information for you soon!

This announcement raises many questions about when, cost, how to access, hardware required, sound quality, content and many more.  I will post any additional information I receive.

HD Tracks reports

"I cannot speak to HDtrack's plans to release an API at this moment. I do not know whether or not there are plans in the future.  I do know that a dedicated app for Mac and Windows will be released soon".

If you don't want to wait, Murfie already offers lossless streaming.

I think most audiophiles prefer using a standalone steamer than an app for windows or mac. No aurender support is a deal breaker for me. I hope they smarten up and release an API soon.

I am very disappointed.   HD Tracks reports (as of 12/30/2017) "HDmusicStream has been put on hold for now. When we have a definitive launch date, we will definitely let everyone know".

If, and when, HDmusicStream becomes available, I am hoping that Aurender supports this service but I have no information about it.

I was told that Qobuz will be available in the USA this year. This announcement would be great.  I have no additional information on when, costs or any other details.
