You seem to have found the answer in regards to the difference in streaming quality between the two.
But the only deal I know for Deezer HiFi is for 3 months free then CAD $14.99/month.

Is Amazon music a separate sub or all tied up to prime like their video service? If so I might have already have it
I think itās seperate, but you can try 3 month for free. I will give it a try.

I checked, itās seperate.
The 3-month free trial offer applies only to the Amazon Music HD Individual Plan and is a limited time offer available only to new subscribers to Amazon Music Unlimited. After the promotional trial, the subscription to Amazon Music HD will automatically continue at the monthly price of $14.99 ($12.99 for Prime Members) plus applicable tax.
I also heard Spotify will add a Hi-Fi tier to its subscription. Hope that comes soon since their selection of music is better than the others for what I am listening to.
Which services are you kicking the tires on? From what I have read both Deezer and Spotify libraries have +70 million tracks.
Already sold my Razer Kaira Pro. Some money back ā¦ Will keep the Xbox Wireless just in case. I think I am set now regarding gaming:
- Xbox Series X
- 1TB Extension card
- Xbox Elite Series 2 controller
- B&O Portal Headphones
- LG OLED C9 65" 120Hz HDMI 2.1
I think I do not need any more invest now. (other than maybe a Elite Series 3 controller LOL)

Iām waiting on the Elite Series 3 to see if it has haptic feedback.
Just did a bit more research about 16bit vs 24bit after reading your post. Found this very detailed article sums it up:
āthere is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space.ā

Nice article. So CD Quality is where itās at anything above that is wasted resources. Good to know.

Yeah my simple understanding is that once you get into the realm of FLAC, youāre good.
Just to circle back around to the audio quality, it seems a couple streaming services have improvements in the works.

Kind of going off-topic, but I wonder if Spotify HiFi will be a free upgrade or not for Premium users. Hope so, been subscribed for years now.

I think this would be a bad look if everyone else is a free upgrade and they charge more for it
I was gonna hold out until the Navy was released but I became to impatient. I ended up pulling the trigger on the Black Anthracite, while it would of been cool to have them in Navy (love the colour combo) I donāt regret my decision.
