With the introduction of apple high res, amazon cut the price of their hd music service. For prime members it only cost $7.99 and that is in canadian dollars per month. I read somewhere that you can pay for a yearly subscription for $79.99 but i can't seem to find this on their website. I generally like to own my music . I have my music loaded on a hard drive attached to the bdp-2. For the price , i am willing to try amazon hd music. The one problem is getting it to play on my main music system. It seems that the only way to get it to work is by using a computer or something like the bluesound node 2i. Both seems to be inferior to the bdp-2. Hopefully bryston will support it or is there any other way , without sacrificing sound quality, of getting amazon hd music to a good home stereo system.
