Well it did answer a question I had been contemplating about ADAT Lightpipe!When in doubt, Pupster: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOSLINK

24/96/2I thought toslink was limited to 24/48? Hmmm- maybe multi-channel only is what I remember? Oops apparently I don’t remember
Looks like a few classifications:
Standard "SD" - compressed, currently used in Amazon Music and Unlimited
"HD" - 16-bit, 44.1 kHz (CD-quality)
"Ultra HD" - 24-bit, 44.1; 24-bit 96 kHz
I'd love to see them move into delivering surround but doubt they would offer that before they get it off the ground.
Thanks for the article @Lord British -very interesting; and I'm in agreement, this is a total misrepresentation by Amazon Music and why I won't pay for that service unless they can get their system paired up with reality! Bizarro is being kind, it's more like a rip off; because it's hard for me to believe that the folks developing this program don't actually know the difference in the audio resolution.I just got the trial. My office IT is crazy - Spotify is blocked and most application installs are too, but I was able to install the app on my work machine. That's the main reason I was interested, excited to try it out.
I understand your disgust. But I tend to believe they know exactly what they're doing, unfortunately. This attempt to redefine what the term HD means must be intentional.Thanks for the article @Lord British -very interesting; and I'm in agreement, this is a total misrepresentation by Amazon Music and why I won't pay for that service unless they can get their system paired up with reality!

Listened to the recent release of the Saint-Saens 2nd and 5th Piano Concertos in "Ultra HD" mode, whatever that means (it's a 24/96 recording I believe). It sounded good, too. However, the interface is utter garbage - everything revolves around playlists and "stations" - I didn't even see the option to do a genre browse.I just got the trial.
