That was the point really , they apparently do not have the same raw material or process it differently ,now why is that ? or rather do any service really know or or actually actively partake in the process of aquaring material and what is the post process if any ? Or do they just provide an upload service for the labels and leave it at that ? And then what anything else done ? For the usual music service it's not to bad leave it to the labels and artist to present their material as they see fit, it's their call . But if you call anything a "Hifi service" you committed yourself to some higher standards the lossles vs lossy format thing is a marketting ruse . The real deal would be if they actually acquired the best possible master or version of a given work or had several version to user to chose from . Unaltered by any post compression or volume change . For example if you sell a "hifi service" you must be well aware of the loudness war and that many labels do mincemeat of their old classics to "modernise" them and simply ask for the old CD master or anything else done prior to this craze . That would be part of the "curating process" . The streaming services are not exactly giving us the details on how its really done . which is a shame more quality controll and more transparency I would actually buy into such a service :) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
