The 2023 CE Pro Outdoor Technology Deep Dive reveals unique set of impediments, including explaining pricing and interacting with outdoor-centric trades.

Missing from all of this streaming quality talk is Apple Music.Īpple Music, despite having a library full of high-resolution content through its Mastered for iTunes catalog, still only offers AAC-encoded streams of 256kps. Apple supporters maintain that Apple Music sounds better than the entry-level Spotify solution at 320kps, but the company is now the only major subscription streaming service not to offer some level of upgraded streaming audio. The aforementioned TIDAL service offers CD-quality 1,411kps streams for its HiFi service, and bitrates that range from 2304kps to 9216kps for the previously mentioned Masters service. Other lossless audio options available include Amazon Music HD, which offers bitrate streams up to 850kps for its HD service and bitrates as high as 3,730kps for its UltraHD service. Spotify joins the Deezer streaming service in offering CD-quality streaming quality, but it falls short of the quality levels of TIDAL and its Masters option, which offers MQA-encoded high-resolution audio content (24-bit/192kHz bitrates up to 9216kps).
