Hey, Fred
Moderator Dude is of course right on. Hi Res 24 bit is finally coming to music streaming. The 16 bit CD quality streamers are now starting to offer that. Deezer doesn't, yet. Both Tidal and Qobuz now do. Moderator Dude's post got me interested in the progress in that regard, so I got a trial subscription to Tidal, in part to check out their 24 bit library. At this point it's nowhere near as extensive as the 16 bit library, but that will change. I'll try some of their 24 bit stuff vs the 16 bit just to see what I think. Unfortunately, streaming it through Sonos to my GEt's reduces it to 16 bit, even with my Wyred4Sound upgrade good for up to 32 bit out in digital, and I don't have another streamer that can pass 24 bit analog to the receiver either, so I'll listen on headphones.
Whatever you choose if you go the streaming route, it's worth it to keep the 24 bit Hi Res option open.
