Qobuz, the go-to platform for music lovers who care about sound quality, has just dropped a big update: the introduction of Direct Stream Digital (DSD) and Digital eXtreme Definition (DXD) formats. This move expands their already extensive catalog with over 22,500 new tracks in these super high-res formats, giving audiophiles even more options to experience their favorite tunes like never before.

DSD and DXD are on another level when it comes to audio quality. They’re not your everyday PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) formats like WAV or FLAC. High-res PCM files can sample sound at 192 kHz (192,000 times per second), but DXD cranks it up to 352.8 kHz for even finer detail. Then there's DSD, which takes it to a whole new extreme at 2.8 million samples per second, delivering an incredibly pure sound.

For music fans who want the very best, this means you can now stream or download iconic albums like Michael Jackson’s Thriller, John Coltrane’s Blue Train, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 5 in stunning quality. Qobuz is adding these formats to their vast collection, and the platform continues to be a top choice for those who care about audio fidelity.
