My reply from Amazon regarding streaming on PS Audio devices:

We are always working hard on improving Amazon music services. So, I have taken your feedback as an improvement factor and forwarded it to our Amazon Music team for consideration.

Not much encouragement in that one. But at least you got a response! I asked for instructions on how to connect Amazon to Roon, and if that wasn’t possible, for Amazon to take it that I’d support it being available. No response, no Amazon streaming here…
That is a fantastic response. I love the bit about “improvement factor”. Next time my wife asks why I haven’t emptied the dishwasher I’ll tell her I’ve taken that onboard as an improvement factor and keep doing what I’m doing.
I subscribe to Amazon HD because it’s built into most of the rooms in my house. I’m pretty sure it works by uPnP and it does “Ultra HD” (the ceiling speakers accept up to 24/192, also have Spotify, Tidal, Apple Music and radio onboard). Most of the devices I’ve used have uPnP or Airplay, which is the easiest way to do Amazon to HD, but not Unlimited Ultra HD. Auralic got Amazon onboard from the start.
I have no idea why Amazon is on board so few brands. Whose fault is it? There doesn’t seem to be major technical reasons why not.
Auralic does not now or has it ever had any relationship with Amazon Music services. Just like every other audiophile streamer manufacturer there request for access to the Amazon API has either been ignored or refused.
Apologies, I meant to say Bluesound, I had a Powernode 2i at the time. I used Auralic before that.
I like Alexa. my sound, light and security is Alexa controlled. I just had new kitchen appliances installed yesterday and they are all on Alexa. I get to set them up this weekend.
Alexa came with my Amazon Fire Cube and occasionally I will ask what the temperature is or how far away someplace is, but that is the extent of our relationship. I should open up to her a little more
I think if you asked Alexa out for a date you’d quickly find yourself on a sex offenders list. I’ll settle for her dimming the lights and playing music. Once I program the ovens, I’ll see if Alexa is any good at cooking, which is also probably a bit sexist.
