Amazon Music HD..... Not For Audiophiles


Interesting article....

If you want a streaming service primarily for your smartphone or tablet, Amazon Music HD will work fine, because those are the platforms it was designed for.

Amazon HD has 50 million songs and has Apple TV and Amazon cube apps.

It sounds great to me, even in CD quality.

I find High Rez "way over rated" in most cases. 

Good original recording mastering counts more than High Rez mastering as far a sound playback quality, IMO.

Lots of Amazon haters out there. 
I'm glad someone can relax. I'm Prime and have no reason to check out AHD. Or Roon.
If I was paying for it I'd have to worry about getting my money's worth.
Not even interested enough to read the article.
Ahhhh!
Unrelated but Radio Paradise is bundled into my NAD streamer. Free, 320kbs. Their 'world' station knocks me out daily, it's so good. Not highrez but sounds like CD quality, good enough for me to turn on and enjoy the content without sweating the micro rez yadda. 
Amazon HD is just fine , they just need more high end streaming platforms. Through my Marantz 8805 it sounds very good only quibble is lack of playlist import through Heos.
Interesting read.  But if time in the digital realm has taught us anything, just wait 5 minutes and it will change.
