Amazon hd music4/21/2023 Firstly, that literally every other high-resolution streaming service that does manage to offer (close to) bit-perfect playback on Android must not be concerned about device compatibility. Is Amazon playing on Android-based DAPs at the lowest possible resolution they offer music in, as some DAP manufacturers state? And if so, why does Amazon block playback in the higher resolutions? Or close to those resolutions, if we want to entertain semantics?Īlso, with respect, the statement that Amazon is “rightly more concerned about compatibility over a range of devices than bit-perfect playback” would seem to suggest a couple of things we know are not true. And perhaps I could have worded things more concisely, but the larger questions my post implies, and the only things anyone really cares about, remain unanswered. What, exactly, IS the problem with Amazon Music HD and Android playback? Why is it seemingly impossible to implement bit-perfect playback with most Android-based DAPs, no matter how much software wizardry a manufacturer throws at the issue? How can Amazon change this?Ĭlick to expand.Okay, sure, I’m aware of all that. The summary of these responses is always the same… It’s not a (insert Android-based DAP X here) problem… it’s an Amazon Music HD problem. This is the response even from DAP manufacturers that incorporate various proprietary softwares to defeat Android’s SRC, allowing all other high-resolution streaming services (that would otherwise be down-sampled by the Android OS) to play bit-perfectly. However, whenever I investigate the actual bit-perfect compatibility of Amazon Music with a specific DAP, I always seem to get the same response from the manufacturer… That due to how the Amazon Music HD app initiates playback, bit-perfect playback is impossible. It appears to have more high-resolution albums than just about anybody, and unlike competitors, features EQ and volume normalization right in the Android app. Amazon Music HD is one of the best options for high-resolution music on DAPs available- on paper.
