HIGHRESAUDIO — COMBINED DOWNLOAD AND STREAMING SUBSCRIPTION


HIGHRESAUDIO, the German multi-genre music download and streaming service founded in Germany and based in Berlin and Hamburg, today announces the launch of two new combined download and streaming subscription packages. Designed for discerning music listeners and hi-fi enthusiasts who value the finest possible sound quality, the service specialises in music downloads in native 24-bit resolution.

A first of its kind in the music industry, the new offering combines download credit with a streaming subscription in a single package. The initiative is primarily aimed at customers who regularly purchase Hi-Res downloads, a group that represents approximately 80 per cent of HIGHRESAUDIO’s customer base.

For many audiophiles, high-resolution downloads remain the preferred way to acquire music. They provide complete flexibility in terms of storage, management and playback across stationary and portable devices, while offering what many consider the most reliable source for achieving the highest possible listening quality.

The concept behind the new All-in-One Premium Packages is straightforward: customers purchase a combined subscription that includes download credit alongside complimentary access to HRA streaming. The credit can be used freely, without an expiration date, until the available balance is exhausted. Meanwhile, the streaming subscription remains active for either six or twelve months, depending on the selected package.

The new All-in-One Premium 2-in-1 Packages are particularly suited to:

  • Customers who regularly purchase high-resolution downloads.
  • Music enthusiasts interested in exploring streaming services.
  • Listeners who wish to compare downloaded files with streamed versions.
  • Those who want to experience the original recording quality before purchasing an album.
  • Owners of audio servers or NAS systems used for storing their music libraries.
  • Users of network streamers with integrated storage.
  • Listeners who prefer downloads at home but appreciate the convenience of streaming while travelling.

HIGHRESAUDIO also provides several ways to access and enjoy purchased music. Playback is available through dedicated Apple iOS and macOS applications, a Windows app and HRA VirtualVault (Digital Locker). This offers extensive playback flexibility, allowing customers to access their music library in the highest available quality, wherever and whenever they choose.

The two new HIGHRESAUDIO 2-in-1 subscription packages are available in the following configurations:

  • 250 EUR download credit, including a six-month HRA streaming subscription.
  • 500 EUR download credit, including a twelve-month HRA streaming subscription.

Introduced under the motto “The Ultimate Music Experience: YOUR MUSIC. YOUR WAY.”, the new offering represents a hybrid approach to music consumption, bringing together ownership and streaming in a single, customer-oriented proposition. According to Lothar Kerestedjian, CEO and founder of HIGHRESAUDIO.com, the concept is intended to make everyday music access more convenient while providing greater freedom in how listeners discover, purchase and enjoy their music.
