Yes they would get my business too but not for more money ,They could easily make the sound quality a non issue besides what the recordings actually sounds like ,heck they could fix that to by picking a good master . But now they repacking their service for the discerning listener ? It s actually a lot like the DSD craze . It's probably marketing 101 , If you decide to sell good quality how to reach your market ? We made some tweaks and been more careful, enjoy. Would not sell much . But if you instead launch a whole new service or a new -format- wow now where talking ,this is an easier sell . The classic "remastered" that sold so many CD's is dead for the discerning listener because they usually sound worse , some marketing dude found out that some old stuff was not compressed to death yet, lets fix that :) My missgivings are about about piggybacking on known audio myths to sell more . We dont need new formats we need better recordings and undestroyed masters ,format is irrelevant . We also need streaming services to care about audio , it wont cost them anything to do so really . Then how do you comunicate that to the market that you now care for sound quality . A new service in new format convince some customers but is it really needed ? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
