I am anxious to give this a trial on my NAD M17 and BluOS. I hope it's better than Tidal.

I am going to give it the 90 trial, but I'm probably not going to notice much of a difference. I did the same with Tidal, and I did hear some difference with some songs, but not all of them. I guess my equipment is not high end enough to take advantage of this?

I'm signed up... but the instructions are like a ghost... have no idea how to hear the unlimited thru BlueOS. I click on Amazon Music within the BlueOS controller and it just shows me a few stations and songs... nothing worth paying for... that is for sure. There is NOTHING instant about it... nope!

Yeah... I finally got it working, but had to use Firefox initially as my default browser to get logged in to Amazon Music within the BlueOS desktop app... it would not work with Chrome. Of course that's another story in itself... our business POS system and backend for our website are optimized for Chrome, or I'd still be using FF anyway. But yeah... got it working and got a chance to compare one song with Tidal... could not tell any differences. I could not find any HD/HR songs on Amazon to compare to MQA on Tidal.
