Hi res Amazon music on Boss2 with Moode

[pboser]

Hi all,

When I play hi res music from Amazon Music on my Boss2 (via Airplay and Moode) I see what I always see on the display - 24 and 44.1.

Two questions:

Am I doing something wrong?

Why does it always say 24, even when I play CD rips from a connected hard drive?

Be gentle - this stuff is often over my head!

Thanks in advance,

Pete

Are you sure Amazon HiRes offers higher bitrates than shown?

Their site says Ultra HD is up to 24/192.

But Airplay might limit the bitrate???

Afaik, Airplay2 does limit to max 16/44 at the moment, and is said to support 24/48 in the future.

 

However, streaming is a fickle thing.

Just bc a service "can" provide "up to" 192/ 24, it doesn't mean it "does" it "always" with "every" song on "all" hardware/software as marketing suggests.

Simple example, Amazon UHD on Sonos does only play in 16/44.

That's my suspicition - thanks!
