“Amazon just killed Tidal”

Not so fast.....i’ve signed up with Amazon HD Music. The HD selection is pretty scant. 

Now the positive, the SQ is excellent in 44.1kHz and high resolution (upto 96kHz). I have yet to come across anything beyond 96kHz resolution. If HD catalog grows like Tidal/Qobuz then for me Amazon will be a bargain at $12.99/monthly or $130/yearly.  
At Amazon you cannot even get a live person any longer.....

@uberwaltz,

That’s incorrect. You have an option for live chat or human interaction 24/7 with Amazon. Heck, they can even call you. I end up calling twice during my Amazon HD setup, nothing but excellent customer service experience. 

Agree with you on ‘no threat to Qobuz or even Tidal. They have long ways to go before they can match their catalog in high resolution. But it’s a work in progress, give them sometime.
