In Reply to: RE: Ah yes, "70 000 Hi-Res albums"... posted by Ivan303 on June 03, 2017 at 09:33:55
I have no idea how to count total albums or tracks available for hi rez streaming in Qobuz ...
But I noticed that many albums designated "hi rez" on Qobuz are hi rez only as downloads, they stream as 16/44.1. Regrettably, all of BIS and Chandos catalogs ...
Follow Ups:
Maxim, what you say is the case with the CD or Sublime subscriptions. However I am given the impression that with the new Sublime+ option most ( all?) of those listed as hi-rez will be streamable in that format.
Admittedly there is some ambiguity. If I could get the Subliem+ sample to work then I might be tempted to subscribe to it and find out for sure.
NB: all of the albums listed as hi-rez are streamable in plain vanilla Sublime but only after you purchase them ( I am not very clear what the benefit is as if you own the stuff, why stream it?).
No, with sublime+ many titles from "hi rez" labels --e.g. BIS, Chandos -- are streaming at 44.1/16 only. But you can dowload them in hirez from Qobuz.
Thanks Maxim. So, as far as Sublime+ is concerned there is less to it than meets the eye :-)
BTW, when you say download in hirez do you mean just download or purchase and download?
Have not tried to "just download" yet.
How does one tell, for example, that a title will stream in Hi Rez?
They say 70,000 titles, but that could be just 24 bit?
Please keep up posted.
Are you getting anything in 24/192?
I thought hi rez is defined as 24 bit: 44.1/24 is hi rez ... While 96/16 recordings do not exist ...
My sense is that in classical music Qobuz sublime+ offers hi rez streams of certain labels (DG, Decca, Sony, RCA, Harmonia Mundi, etc) but limits it to 44.1/16 for other labels (Chandos, BIS, Naxos, etc).
I have not found anything above 96 khz so far, but I have not been looking ...
Keep us posted if anything changes.
Over the last year or so I've seen some labels only available as 30 mp3 streams (Chandos, BIS, etc.), then for some reason, be available again(but sadly not Channel Classics).
Hopefully it's just a matter of getting the labels on board?
Let's hope so.
