    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..
