Those of you (me included) who purchase downloads, from which online store do you purchase them and why?

 

The answers will help with something on which I'm working. 

For me it's mostly Qobuz (via Sublime subscription), next is Native DSD, Bandcamp or HDTracks. I do really like it when the actual nature of the recording is noted (i.e. is it DXD, DSD, and if so what rates natively, etc.)

 

Since I now use PGGB for upsampling (with Dave DC4 DAC), I am buying a lot more music in general and then processing (gargle blasting) it with PGGB. That said, I'll almost always go for the HD version of something, but even 16/44K version processed with PGGB is so much better than almost anything else available streaming or otherwise. That's why I buy a lot more music now.
