    Live x Live Premium... 320kbps and they always seem to know which jazz/blues artist fits the bill for the day.
    Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists.

    Congrats and looks like you already sold it too. At a fraction of what I invested but still a smsll fraction of my digital library which is nearing the 30k album mark. It grows like a weed I tell ya so never a need for pay services. Plus there are no pay to listen service providers that can deliver the ear candy I'm spoiled with. 😂😂😂🎩radio!

    Was using Amazon HD until today when all of sudden nothing works after they updated the app for Mac. I'll give it a couple of days to see of they fix otherwise one less subscriber here.

    Right now Im only using free internet radio via my 2 Auralic Aries minis. Some of the stations stream 254 or 320 kbps....most stations are lower than this but free is free. I would like to try Tidal but weary of spending a whole 10 bucks a month right now. Also, I agree that Tidals marketing, albeit minimal, is off target. They should be going for jazz, classical, ambient, alt, and 'classic' rock listeners. Rap and pop groupies dont give a 🐀's **** about SQ. There are already plenty of services to find that music.
  • TIDAL still sounds the best for me. I tried Qobuz and the desktop app kept crashing under Windows 10 and my friend Steve had the same experience. I'm trying Amazon HD but it doesn't seem to have the capability of doing *bitperfect* using either Wasapi or ASIO. Until they get that straightened out, the quality will not measure up to TIDAL no matter what the bitrate. If it gets resampled by the Windows kernel mixer it sounds like crap.
