I’ll be curious to see if Android DAP makers start prioritizing Amazon Music app compatibility as a matter of evolving audiophile listening habits.
I’ve installed it on my iOS device. Am based in the Uk. The sound quality rivals Qobuz and the catalog is very good. For £12.99 for prime users it definitely betters Qobuz and Tidal for value for money.It is available in U.K. as it gave me the option for all the different plans earlier. No MQA all FLAC
It’s not here in the UK yet but that seems like a good price. How many users if I may ask?
How does it do the high bitrate stuff? Is it MQA anyone?
6 Users. It's FLAC 24bit/44khz for the UltraHD songs.
Signed up. Thanks everyone. Got it on the iPhone. Is there a web player or do I need to install the amazon music app on pc? Cheers!
I am excited this is finally launching, but they need to do some serious work on their desktop app if they want to be taken seriously as an audiophile streaming source. Terrible UI and no way to bypass windows mixer.
Most people's phones are useless though. How much room would you really have for 24 Bit albums? Like enough space for 10 of them among your other apps, etc.?
Still don't get MQA other than those people want to use it to make money...(which is bad news for consumers)It’s not here in the UK yet but that seems like a good price. How many users if I may ask?

Using iPhone to Mojo and iPhone to ifi xDSD. I get up to 24-bit/192khz, not 24/48. The only issue is that even 24/96 is getting updampled to 24/192. On the positive, it seems as though hi-res audio sounds a bit better than Tidal Masters, even though Tidal is giving me proper resolution, 24/48, 24/96.Obviously iPhones feeding anything through the lightning port are hobbled to 24/48 anyway so I haven’t tried anything above that yet. Looking forward to installing and playing with the desktop thing later. Seems ok so far on the phone though. Decent catalogue and there are things there that I can’t find on tidal. However. I have encountered (twice) the ‘sorry this is not available in your region’ nonsense. Why show me something I can’t play?
yea, so all in all seems like it's real tough to get something to do bitperfect with amazon HQ, that's sad.Using iPhone to Mojo and iPhone to ifi xDSD. I get up to 24-bit/192khz, not 24/48.

True. Glad it's a 90 day trial. The sound is nice. Noticing a bit of an upgrade over Tidal, but I don't like that all audio is being upsampled. I'm adding music to Amazon library, but keeping my Tidal downloads. We'll see if they make some changes before December. If they do go bit-perfect, by then I could see myself switching. $20 for a 6 member family plan, vs $30 for a 5 member family plan via Tidal. Hopefully they continue to work on it.yea, so all in all seems like it's real tough to get something to do bitperfect with amazon HQ, that's sad.
