Amazon Music rocks!

Hi-Rez Highway

New high resolution SACD releases, players and technology.

Got a free three month subscription to Amazon Music and am very impressed with the sound quality and music selection. Everything is 16/44 quality or above, with quite a few tracks available in UltraHD (which seems to range from 24/96 to 24/192 and possibly DSD).
There are also tracks available in Dolby Atmos, Dolby 360 and other codecs that sound as good or better than CD quality. The HD Ultra tracks sound fantastic, especially when you compare them back to back to standard CD quality (easy to do as there are usually several codec choices for each song selection).
The user interface is just OK. You can do a voice search after a few clicks to get you to "search" but if you forget that step the search will exit the app and usually end up as a YouTube search. There's no way to save your searches or find previously listened to songs, at least none that I've discovered.
All in all a very good sounding and reasonably deep selection of songs/albums at an unbeatable (free) price.
Edit: To clarify the service is Amazon Music Unlimited. I'm streaming through the app on an LG OLED.
