The Yamaha MusicCast VINYL 500 connected turntable is one of the devices that can be updated for extended Alexa compatiblity and access to Amazon Music HD. ![]() All can be updated in order to benefit from optimal compatibility with Amazon devices and services. This update covers more than 15 Yamaha MusicCast devices including wireless speakers, audio video receivers, soundbars and turntable Yamaha MusicCast VINYL 500. New music service and better integration with Alexa How good Qubozz is with Audirvana I cannot say.īut I would keep it if you don’t want to go to Tidal and quit Amazon, especially if you can use Audirvana with qubozz, but you can’t do that with Amazon.Yamaha expands the compatibility with streaming services of its latest line of MusicCast compatible devices by now integrating the Amazon Music HD service in addition to other online music services such as Qobuz, Deezer, Spotify and TIDAL. Otherwise I do not see any disadvantages with Tidal.Ī year ago I had tested it and went solala, but in the meantime I have to say that they have improved a lot in the last 6 months and also implemented well. With Android devices you can upgrade, with Apple you should have a big memory. Whether I connect to Dac Dongel on the tablet or in the car via Bluetooth it is better.ĭisadvantage is that it takes a lot of space on the tablet hard disk. I have it installed on all tablts and the sound is first class, much better than with all the others. I know that the tidal is 5$ more for Hifi subscription, but it is worth it. If I am in the mood to switch over from Dsd, it is done with a few clicks, my Pc and Dac takes care of everything. Well what can I say, finally what I wanted. On the weekend I tested Audirvana and Tidal. If you have Hifi and a good device, everything is great, but not usable on a pc. Then I went to Deezer, they have the same crap like Amazon, but the support is better, but also the possibility to tear something on the pc is bad, so I decided to use software like Audirvana.ĭeezer puts more of a focus on devices like streamers for example. When i quit Amazon i went to Qubozz what bothered me was because many songs were terrible that was only about 4-5 months ago and i quit the rehearsal abo.i tested it without Audirvana because i didn’t know it at that time. Their software never reaches Dsd although your Dac could, the next thing is there is hardly any software like Audirvana where you can integrate Amazon as an account.īesides that Amazon is now almost only out to get your money and the support is partly bad, especially in Germany. Yes the platform is good, but there are two or three things. Yes I pretty much everything through by now.Ģ-3 years ago I had Spotify also as a subscription and got on my nerves because you never found single titles.īecause I was an Amazon Prime customer, I had the normal, then unlimited, then HD. I realize it just comes down to my personal choice but would really appreciate any replies as to your comparative experiences and choice. Has anyone else compared Amazon Music HD and Qobuz/Audirvana before making a choice between the two? Your findings? Certainly NOT an expert but do wonder how one service could consistently have a noticeable sound quality advantage. No doubt whatsoever that Amazon Music HD is much easier and fun to use and has a larger music library, including more 'Ultra HD" offerings. Pretty tired comparing the two and more than a little embarrassed admitting that I have spent hours doing so. To my ears, Qobuz/Audirvans has a consistently more pleasing audio quality… slightly better bass response/punch and overall a slight but noticeable “aliveness” and more open/floating/bigger soundstage. ![]() Amazon Music HD sounds terrific and it’s user interface is MUCH better than the often frustratinging Qobuz/Audirvana. That acknowledged, to me there seems to be a noticeable audio quality difference between them. I really should make a decision as to which one to keep because paying for both seems pretty silly. I’ve spent almost a month now, trying to decide between subscriptions to Amazon Music HD or Qobuz streamed through Audirvana. ![]()
