Audible watermarking on UMG streams and downloads
#2
It's something that I've been aware of for a while and I've often wondered whether that's why some recordings sound so bad when streaming from Qobuz...

I haven't noticed poor quality on any files that I've bought and downloaded from Qobuz but they have all been Hi-res. Maybe the watermarks are not applied to them?

Scarily, all these labels might be affected:

IMac macOS 10.15.3 (no link to Devialet Sad ) / MacBook Pro Retina OS X 10.14.4 / Linn LP12 / Devialet 200 Wilson Benesch Discovery. 
Qobuz Desktop Latest Version / Audirvana 3.2.18 / Audirvana Remote / iTunes 12.9 / AIR 3.0.4 / Wi-Fi / FW 8.1.0 / SAM 50%
