Hardbopjazz Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I have to get with the times. I haven't used any streaming service yet. How good is the the catalogs for Amazon or the others in terms of jazz? Since this the music is going to be HD, I may check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel A Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 "You will definitely hear the difference on both iPhones and Android phones[...]" I'll believe that when I see convincing results from some ABX test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Not sure I trust that when for example, HDTracks had Herbie's VSOP at 24/96 but it indicated it was upsampled from a 16 bit file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted September 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'll be happy when they'll sell me a HD DL on a per-transaction, non-subscription basis. My desire for such a product is occasional, and does not justify an ongoing subscription expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFrank Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 A friend gave me a subscription to Tidal, which features HD. Pretty sure I can tell the difference, but I don't have an audiophile setup, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr jazz Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 signed up for the free trial as I have a DAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Shearn Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I signed up for the trial too but beware.......... some albums like A New Perspective I expected to be available in the hi res master from a few years back, only "The Black Disciple" is hi res, the rest is the RVG. Albums like Innervisions sound great and seemed very close to the Japanese SACD I heard at my friend's house on his system. And some albums like the new Nicholas Payton are not available in full. So gotta buy that CD eventually edit: the Payton is not out yet so they released 2 singles. Edited September 19, 2019 by CJ Shearn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
