The marketing for this one hasn't reached me yet. Thanks for the recommendation.

EDIT: looks like Amazon HD might force re-sampling of 44.1KHz to 48KHz on Android, which is a shame if true.

unfortunately, I don't think any of the streaming services offer the same level of control and confidence as something like foobar2000 with a local library. when I was originally shopping for a streaming service, I found it very frustrating to figure out all the technical details. they don't make this information at all easy to find, and even if they do, it's hard to trust that something weird doesn't happen under the hood on some devices.

my main use case for streaming is android auto, so I lowered my criteria to "no lossy-lossy reencode for bluetooth and works well with google assistant". so yt music was basically the only option for me. I would have tried amazon HD, but apparently google has deliberately made it hard to use with assistant, which hamstrings it for music in the car.
