Amazon just killed Tidal

I just set up a few minutes ago.

I downloaded the iOS and Mac computer apps.

The high Rez is 24 96.

More in a few days after I explore the service.

The source music in ultra HD is 24bit 96khz, but what you get depends on the playback device.
There is tons of music in ultra HD, at first glance.
The rest is CD quality or what Amazon calls HD.
You can download the songs to your device.
90 day free trial.

This apparently has Neil Young’s blessing and he says this is big for the future of music, so there you go. A big player like Amazon streaming hi-rez audio? I’ve been waiting for that to happen. He’s probably right.

This will be like a baby boom for audiophiles!!!!  Let's all rejoice!

Is it Roon ready/compatible? I just signed up for Qobuz and am comparing it to Tidal. Qobuz sounds better. Amazon must be Roon ready or no go for me.  Doubt it will sound as good as the $24 top Qobuz offering.

On my iPad with Audioquest Cobalt and headphones I get 24bit 96khz playback on the ultra HD songs!

This is a game changer!
