Standard Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray are the “tangible” physical media with native hi res audio (24/96K) and high definition video content. The uncompressed audio content is bit-for-bit identical to the original master recording, with the live performance by the artists in native 1080p or now 4K video. It outperforms all previous formats, the best content ever. You wont find the Blu-ray Hi Res Audio soundtracks available for downloading or streaming, they’re protected by HDCP encryption against piracy. New shows as well as older catalog classics are also available on Blu-ray now with the video restored to modern day standards.
Blu-ray discs cant be copied or downloaded from the internet because this highest level of resolution is protected with the HDCP security protocol, requiring a two-way handshake between the player and the downstream DAC that confirms an authentic, secured connection. That only happens if the disc is in the drawer of a Blu-ray player, not from a download, connected by HDMI v2.0b. Once that connection is authenticated, you’ll hear the highest fidelity in history at home with the full bandwidth and dynamic range of the original master recording for the first time ever.
