(chandos.net)?

If so, did you see their announcement?
Chandos Records sincerely thanks our loyal digital download customers for their support over the last 20 years. Due to the continuous decline in the popularity of digital downloads, 'The Classical Shop' will be closed for all digital download services on 29th November.

October 25th at 12 noon will be the final time for new download purchases.

From then our website will be dedicated to exclusive news, special offers and information about Chandos label and artists:CD and SACD sales will continue as usual.

I've seen Chandos downloads available on some other sites, such as eClassical - but not with the depth of catalog that the Chandos site itself had.

Lately I haven't been able to find hires downloads of new Chandos releases other than at the Chandos website which is now kaput. Neither Qobuz nor Presto have it. They just offer the CD layer version. Do you think that Chandos may have given Apple exclusive rights to the hires versions? At least for a period of time. I don't mind if there is an SACD version available, but not all of Chandos classical stuff has an SACD version.

  . . . only the Chandos site used to have the 5Ch versions of some downloads. I'm assuming that this 5Ch availability is now a thing of the past as far as Chandos downloads are concerned. OTOH, as you suggest, a number of Chandos releases are now available on Apple Music in lossy Dolby Atmos, which, for my inclinations, could actually be an improvement, although I will have access to them only as long as I'm on the $10.99/month treadmill of Apple Music. ;-)
