Had to look it up as they have the vol slider hidden behind the speaker icon now.
It was down to less than 50% That took care of the problem. Big thank you for the tip!!!

No issues here with Amazon.

I always check settings on the Amazon desktop app after any sort of system update or when there is a player update. There have been a few occasions where the volume and stream quality were set to ādefaultā values where the volume was at 50% and quality was set to Standard. Always make sure the latter is set to āBest Availableā.
The algorithm is getting better and better for me. I have spent most of the weekend listening time going with the playlist the app is serving up. It almost seems like the AI they are using is getting more precise in what it is offering. Still very happy with the service.

@Raptor168 Thanks, I intend to ck from now onā¦just didnāt occur to me at the time since the vol. is hidden. It was a good reminder of how attenuation in earlier parts of the chain can affect not only volume but overall quality as well. I also
spent several hours of Enjoyable listening, and do agree their suggestions seem
to be getting better. I still use Spotify as wellā¦their search function and recommendations are the best, imo. Have a great day.

As you guys know, I have been using my LG V40 cell as a streaming device in the bedroom system and have been having great success with it. Things got even better when I recently hardwired it to the M200 DAC using an Audioquest Cinnamon USB cable and a Wyred 4 Sound USB re-clocker. Last night, things took an even more exciting turn.
I noticed that while searching for new music, Dolby Atmos selections started coming up. I didnāt really notice them before when I was streaming over BT/LDAC, but they are coming up now! Naturally I got curious so I decided to try this
Wow. The difference was actually noticeable. There was more depth, separation and āairā in the presentation, if that makes sense. Low end hits just a little better and all in all, the music just sounded better. I then decided to try another selection to see if the result was consistent. So I found this and gave it a listen
Fantastic! This Atmos stuff appears to be for real! I really like it. Makes me wonder if the Atmos format would be available if I went for something like a Bluesound streaming device. Can someone who has a Bluesound chime in and confirm or deny this?

@Raptor168 Fun. I like the Dolby sometimes as well. Itās not on the desktop version, but is avail. on android ie. phone and kindle, which works well plugged into my BF2 etc. Amazon playing Amazon, lol. I find some pieces sound great, as you described and others which seem rather artificial. Have fun!
