The only issue I have is that I cannot use my android phone to cast Amazon Music to Moode. It won't support airplay without rooting and using Airaudio.
Can anyone think of another way with android?
There's bluetooth as suggested which I use in the car & a handful of bluetooth speakers around the house, but I wouldn't consider it for serious listening, the SQ is not there IMO.
There is no way to get MoOde to accept the Amazon stream at the moment, which is a shame, to listen to Amazon Music HD I have been using the line out from my HiBy R6 Pro into the RCA of my pre-amp & by-passing MoOde.
If you want better integration of a lossless streaming service you need to look at Tidal & Qobuz which you can stream to MoOde by Bubble. Note that MoOde does not support Tidal Masters which are in MQA format & it's been mentioned that it never will support MQA.
For me it's a toss up between Tidal and Amazon for lossless & Hi Res streaming, Qobuz doesn't have the library to suit my musical tastes.
I've spent some days testing Amazon HD away from MoOde & comparing it to my own music on my NAS & Tidal & I have already decided to not renew the trial.
The App and library is fantastic, the library is on par with Spotify & I prefer the Amazon app.
I can't get the same listening experience from Amazon HD as I do my own flacs or Tidal Masters.
Using The Doors track LA Woman as an example, the Amazon file is 24/96 & sounds great, until I compare it to a DSD rip I have and the difference is night & day, the clarity of the opening 30 seconds of the song as the individual instruments appear on the DSD rip vs the Amazon HD 24/96 is obvious.
The Tidal Master sounds identical to the DSD rip.
This is listening using headphones on a HiBy R6 Pro. The Amazon HD is listened to using the Amazon app, which is supported by HiBy & the DSD file and Tidal master stream are listened to using UAPP.
UAPP does not support Amazon Music.
I realise this is a bit of an apples / oranges comparision as the software is different, but the hardware is identical.
As I like headphone listening occasionally, I will ditch Amazon.
