Primephonic has a new streaming service with classical music in CD quality (FLAC).

I've been using it since yesterday. I really like it. I wish it was integrated into JRiver or Roon or another app. Connecting my computer to my audio system and controlling it via web interface are old school. But, it's a nice start.

I just find the pricing way to high compared to Qobuz and Tidal

Interesting... I just found out about this via Gramophone magazine.

 

But seems pretty niche...

I too have just stumbled upon this.

 

I currently listen to Tidal via Lumin App via an OpenHome renderer using Bubbleup Server. That is my preferred streaming method because of sound quality.

 

I also have an Airport Express optical output connected to my DAC for apps such as the Berlin Philharmonic's Digital Concert Hall which I output via AirPlay.

 

Is my Airport Express the only way to currently access the Primephonics streaming service?

@Musicophilethe pricing seems to be cheaper than Tidal. Perhaps the pricing was different in June?

This review was not favorable.

 

It seems self-defeating to offer a classical music streaming service with such poor search and play functionality.

Sure Primephonic is cheaper in absolute terms. But relatively speaking you get so much more available content with the generalists that I find Primephonics pricing model quite unattractive
