My annual subscription to Sublime+ is up next month, so I crunched some numbers on my purchases over the past year to see if it is worth renewing.
The savings from purchasing the Hi res version instead of the 16/44 version almost exactly equalled the total Sublime+ annual subscription cost. It absolutely paid for itself in savings over the CD quality offering on Qobuz. As you can imagine, my annual savings over the regular Hi res offering was substantially more…but I think Hi res prices are crazy high anyway, and I wouldn’t have purchased all I did if it was for the regular Hi res price… but if I could purchase those hi res albums for the price of the CD version and at the end of the day the Sublime+ subscription cost was basically free? I think it is worth another year’s subscription.
I purchased 16/44 downloads from them as well over the year and didn’t include those in my analysis. Just the hi res savings over the CD quality price.
