Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
Bit matched output seems tricky on Android Surprised none of these services add an option to.enable.or disable high quality upsampling/downsampling can't imagine that difficult to code and whilst a compromise probably better than letting OS do it That said I still think Amazon HD sounds a lot...- Buckster

Amazon launches Music HD with lossless streaming
I've got fixed audio output to my E17 from my P20 Pro at 24/48 Still sounds fantastic though My iPhone SE slightly better in that using internal Dac maximum output is 24/48 but app suggests he output is bit matching where it can so I've seen the app state device is outputting 24/48, 24/44...- Buckster

MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors
fit and comfort are near perfect - no complaints at all did a 5 mile run in them and all good :) - bit of cable noise but moved the cable around a bit and most of it disappeared genuinely surprised how good they are - I was hoping for something I could "tolerate" for running - but wasn't...- Buckster

MEElectronics M6 PRO Musician's In-Ear Monitors
received my MEE M6 Pros today - and even out of the box I think they sound fantastic - very impressed for the money I prefer them to the 2-3 year old Vsonic GR07s I have (the cable broke on them recently)- Buckster
