Audiophile streaming service

“But to stream them from a streaming company you are sure to get the later compressed version, of what you bought from Germany.”

And how do you know this? What is your source?

In case you did not notice, we have come a long way from Apple mp3 era where every file was compressed to fit into iPod. 

Streaming services often have many different versions of tracks. I guess some choose to ignore that. Ignorance is bliss?

THINK!!! See, the Forest for the Trees.

Do you think they are going to scour eBay for old used ones with catalogue numbers details just to get the uncompressed one then buy it used hoping it’s in good nick?

No I don’t think so, they get what’s give streamed to them from the recording companies at the time, which will be the newer re-issue compressed version that they have done.

^^^^Whatever floats your boat 😂

George what streaming services have you listened to? I've heard much fewer complaints about Qobuz than Tidal.
