Songs that can be streamed at higher Res

So I just bought a new BS Node N130 and want to see what streaming is all about. Seeing as I have over 22xx CD’s, I was not in a hurry to go straight into a high end streamer, because if I find I don’t use it or I can’t hear a huge difference in sound quality, I’m not out big bucks.

So I just got a 4 month free Amazon Music subscription and I’m looking for High Res tracks that are well recorded and at least 24/192 or higher. Other than Opera and Rap, I’ll listen to almost anything you all suggest.

Thanks in advance.

I have 3+ months free left and then Qobuz and or Tidal.

Why so both of you say Qobuz? Why are they that much better than Tidal?

Yes, Qobuz sounds better than Tidal and in addition only has around 60,000 high Rez albums as of about six months or so. I would try Qobuz right away… it’s free fora month… you can compare.

Qobuz has Abbey Road 50th anniversary in 24/192 . Not sure about Amazon but that's one you could compare if you have the CD in 16/44.

It’s funny you mentioned Abbey Road, because I’m kinda a Beatles fanboy and already have the the 50th Anniversary set. Giles Martin did a great job on this remaster. The Beatles remastered their entire catalog in 2009-10 and it was mostly a money grab, but the 3 new remasters are all pretty darn good and they even cleaned up the bonus tracks.

I’ll take a listen to the 24/192 tomorrow and yes it’s on Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestion.
