I went back to Spotify from Amazon HD. I just had it with the clunky apps (yes plural) I have to use to just listen to music. The HEOS app only plays the high res music but is unworkable, doesn't show the Amazon playlists, predictive text is missing, works with an annoying and illogical queue...

The Art of Parties - Japan - Amazon Music HD

Ah, got it, cheers bud! 👍

Is that an Apple app? I can't find it for Android.

I am not tech savvy so forgive me if this is a stupid question 😂 Can you just change codec with a software update or is it a physical thing?

Interesting use for the device. Hadn't considered active speakers but my Wharfedales really like the Marantz whereas the Yamaha I had before was harsh in comparison so I have found a match for the moment (until a new G.A.S. episode 😂) I don't use headphones unfortunately so I can't comment on...

I have recently switched from Spotify Premium to Amazon Music HD and there is an audible difference which has only become more evident since I bought a Marantz NR1200 which is capable of playing 24/192 files. Spotify's 320 mp3 is absolutely listenable but can't hold a candle to high res files...

I have a Tibo Bond 3 streamer (Amazon £50) which has Line, Bluetooth and Optical out and I love it!

Good morning all, I managed to buy a Marantz NR1200 for £400 in pristine state. I am extremely happy with it. Setup is a doddle, I bought it from a Polish guy so had to change language first :-) Luckliy the setup menu is self-explanatory and really easy to follow. It looks like crap and I have...

@daveh75 It is very strong placebo then :) Spotify still has the price/organizing advantage which really do weigh in importantly for me but I do hear a difference and not just because I want it to sound better, well, still got a few weeks to decide and I will keep listening to them side by side.

Hello all, I am currently running Amazon Music HD through Bluetooth on my Tibo Bond 3 streamer connected via optical cable to my Yamaha DSP-AX861SE 7.1 UK Tuned Receiver. My speakers are Wharfedale Pacific EVO 30's and are bi-amped with QED XT-25 loudspeaker cable. It is a low-budget but sweet...

I do like those lists either from What HiFi? or the ones on Spotify. What I love about those lists is their diversity, there's so much to choose from and I love that. Most of it is skippable for me but I have discovered new bands and artists through those lists. I use them as discovery platforms...

My no-budget setup: UK Tuned YAMAHA DSP-AX861SE 7.1 AV Receiver (FB Marketplace for £50, the bloke included a YST-SW105 subwoofer because he had it lying around in the attic) TIBO Bond 3 audio streamer (£40 Amazon) connected to amp with optical cable (£7) Wharfedale Diamond 230 (still running...
