Hi-res audio naturally carries a much higher bit-rate and subsequently packs much more detail.
How Does Amazon Music HD Compare to Rival Services?Īs the technology sector is obsessed with bettering our TV picture, especially since 4k has now superseded HD, why have we continued to overlook sound quality? Until recently, Amazon Music, Spotify and Apple Music have all been in close competition, with similarly-sized music libraries and comparable audio quality.Īnd since hi-res streaming services like Qobuz and Tidal have gained popularity for their huge hi-res libraries, Amazon Music HDoffers a new and exciting alternative.īoasting 50 million tracks in CD quality, Amazon Music HD sets to push the boundaries even further with thousands of its tracks available in ultra HD. If/when Sonos gets their own voice shouldn't’t be a problem at all.Amazon Music HD is a subscription service which offers listeners a massive library from which they can stream all their favourite music with outstanding audio quality. Alternatively, Sonos could reject the request to play the SD track.then search and play the higher codec. Probably not a huge concern, and relatively easy to fix. That would work, but get messy if someone reconfigures an existing Sonos room. Perhaps Amazon will start tracking the capability of the speakers you’ve configured with Alexa, so it knows what to send.
Therefore, it has to go with the lowest common denominator.SD. It does not know if ‘bedroom’ is a pair of play:1s or an Arc. I am guessing the reason why is that Amazon/Alexa does not know what level of audio the Sonos room you requested can play. No difference between HD and Ultra HD… I have to ask the dogs.Īnyway, I noticed that an Alexa request doesn’t play the HD/Ultra HD/Atmos files as well. I tend to notice the difference between SD and HD. Arguably, if you can't tell easily that it's different, it doesn't really matter. I am pretty sure that you get standard quality, not HD, when you initiate by Alexa.
