It may be the app or it may be Windows. As noted before, worked fine on Qobuz but only if using exclusive mode in the app. Worked fine with Roon when I had that too (and Audirvana and Media Monkey if I recall correctly so it shouldn't be hard for Amazon to figure out). I think the only thing you can conclude is that Amazon is not bit perfect and some sort of resampling is happening (I.e. their "exclusive mode" does not work the way we expect it to). Where the resampling is happening, I have no idea.
My DACs do show sample rate over coax and toslink and I can confirm Amazon Music HD works properly with the Node 2i over both connections and does not resample. Others have confirmed this early on in this thread as well (I ended up buying two of them over the past year and they are great for streaming Amazon, Qobuz, local files and I can even mix songs from different sources on the same Node 2i playlist). I also get those annoying clicks/pops on my Grace m900 that someone described earlier and my IFI SPDIF iPurifier2 skips the first few seconds whenever the sample rate changes (had to remove that from the chain).
I believe your dac would report that it was receiving 24/192 because Windows is converting it from 24/44.1 to 24/192 downstream of the app. At least that is what is happening in my pc. Can't figure out why yours would be any different.On my system, there seems to be no resampling being done. I have my sound card set to 24 / 192 and only get that when the track says it's available.
Well, I should get my DAC this week, hopefully. Tracking was just updated today to show that it's in the process of being cleared by customs.
Will report back.
What are you waiting on? Many dacs do not report the sample rate being received.Well, I should get my DAC this week, hopefully. Tracking was just updated today to show that it's in the process of being cleared by customs.
XDuoo XD-05 Balanced. It has a screen which shows the sample rate.
maybe it's the recording? i tried on both qobuz & amazon hd and i'm hearing the same "anomaly"Question for yall since my ears are getting trained to the finer sounding audio. I used to really Enjoy the song Quit by Cashmere Cat feat Ariana Grande. However, in ultra hd I notice like a clipping/distortion/peak(maybe?) in the sound. Not quite sure how to accurately describe it. Wanted to see if anyone else picks up on it. Happens during the high points of the song. For example: at 57 secs the music hits and I hear it. At 2 minutes 36 seconds it happens when everyone joins in.
Initially was thinking it was an issue with my system. Yet tried it on my work laptop with bluetooth throwaway IEMs and I hear it. Is this the recording/system/amazon/etc? Used to looove the song but this is inhibiting my enjoyment

That gives me a sigh of relief and makes me feel disappointment since that sound is now ruining my enjoyment of the song.
are you referring to that staticky sound i'm hearing? i've never heard this song until today so i'm not sure what it should sound like...
Yes that is what I am referring to
I'm hearing the same on Youtube Music as well...
