Amazon HD
Answered
I have recently subscribed to Amazon HD. When I access/play Amazon HD songs through the BluOS app I have noticed three different indications of what I believe is the sound quality located to the left of the song name. I have seen CD, HR and no indication at all. Can you please provide input as to exactly what these imply. When I access songs directly through the Amazon Music app, the labels are HD and Ultra HD. Amazon's app then provides detailed information on the Track Quality, Device Capability and Currently Playing at and the Codec.
Also, is there any difference in the quality of the sound when using the BluOS app or the Amazon Music app?
Thank you.

Hi Mark
No logo implies you are listening to MP3 quality or lossy content. a CD indicator suggests you are listening to CD quality 16-bit content. HR is Hi-Res 24-bit content

Thanks. Is there any recommendation to use the BluOS app rather than the Amazon Music app?

You cannot use the Amazon Music App to control your Bluesound Players you must use the BluOS App

I have used the Amazon Music app with the Node 2i player and it worked. There is no other bluetooth connection.

If you are using Bluetooth you may be getting 24 bit, but your music is being downsampled to 48Khz rather than 96 or even 192. To receive full Hi-Res, please use the BluOS App

But why the same albums that result in ULTRA HD in Amazon Music app are only "Music" in BluOS app (Mac OS 3.12.0 app - Node 2i firmware 3.12.6)?
