I'll add another to that list: Qobuz. High-res music, good selection. I've been a paying subscriber for a few years now and can recommend it.

Looks great and nice to find companies that still care about music.
I wish Spotify would stop giving money to Joe Rogan and instead invest in hi-res audio.
It’s ridiculous that we are in 2024 and they still don’t have it.

Amazon prime music launched with high-res also.
In fact they had such a large selection of high res albums that it was downright suspicious. Albums and bands that never had releases on hdtracks, from decades ago, had 24bit streaming on prime
Really makes you think. There are quite a few blogs that open “high-res” releases in a spectrum analyzer and point out where the frequency cutoff is. They just re-encoded the original without any remastering.
Spotify went for the bigger market instead of the small niche of dubious gains. Can’t say I blame them. They have a lot of competition in 2024
