There is some discussion of Amazon music here. Along with “if you can hear the difference” comments. All valid. The quality of your system is a significant factor in the ability to hear that difference. And if it’s important to you. I’m on a trial with Amazon now. Sounds great on my very nice sound system in the car but rather flat and lifeless on the main rig in the house. Inside I’m running a dCS DAC, Wilson speakers and Conrad Johnson electronics. Amazon at their 16/44 bit rate looses the sparkle and debth of Tidal, Qobuz and well recorded CDs. On well recorded material I can hear the difference and it’s thrilling. One of the reasons I love this hobby. Enjoy.
I'm not even quite sure how to phrase my question, but here it goes...
So my DAC has LED's for 44, 96, 176 and so forth. I tried to get an understanding on how the different bit rates affect quality, but quickly became confused with bit depth, Flac files, Redbook and other terminology which all plays into the equation.
Can anyone point me to a dumb-down, digital for dummies kind of resource?
Thank you.
