What does that actually mean to me? What's the best way to get this HD sound to my hifi, should I just continue with a chromecast into the amp's DAC?
On a separate note, how do I make Amazon's recommendations less shit? I find Tidal's suggestions are way better.
Yes but you might be better going analogue out of the chromecast, something about the CCA being able to send full 24/192 from its own dac but only 16/44 out of the optical or something. Might not be right.
Cheers, the Amazon music app doesn't actually tell you what it's casting HD music at so that may be all moot (and if I can't tell I guess it is anyway).
The ideal would obviously be an Echo with an optical out ...
Qobuz streams 24/96 through a CCA to my speakers (according to the app, 24/192 until the signal is cast). The dac in the speakers is limited to 24/96 so 24/192 might be possible..
So Amazon says
