Sound vs music 2

Hi all

When listening to a track I’d love to see a feature that indicates how good an album is based on sound quality. Roon doesn’t sell albums like Qobuz does so why not? Is that even possible? They could use the same 5 star rating as for their music ratings. Roon people listen to music all day for their playlists I assume? And there are criteria like dynamic range and so on.

It would be a great feature if possible. For buying songs for example: do I always buy the hi-res remastered album? Is it really better than the 16bit 44khz version?

This is subjective of course and we all prefer different formats but isn’t it possible to hear differences between versions of the same album on Roon and rate them accordingly? If it is not possible to hear a difference between 16 bit 44 khz and hi-res, then why does hi-res exist? If we all rate them based on quality using the 5 star rating from Roon, in the end we should get a pretty good idea which album version to buy?

Who’s going to judge: Roon themselves based on their knowledge? All of us by rating an album based on quality ?

Happy holidays
