Wondering if I was the only one, I sent an audio quality quiz to my Berklee Online coworkers, a pretty musically inclined group, if we do say so ourselves.

To my dismay, I could not tell a significant difference between high resolution and the normal resolution sound quality of the streaming services I was used to. I started the free trial and expected to be blown away by the sound quality.

This became apparent when I heard about Amazon Music’s new high fidelity music streaming service. You need an experienced palate to know how to pick up notes of pear and oak in a fine wine just like you need an experienced ear to listen for crisp hi-hats and full-bodied reverb in a song. Audiophiles are like sommeliers of music.
