For the longest time I was listening to Celtic Woman on YouTube. Just their youtube channel.

I decided yesterday to do a test which was better: The official youtube video for Beeswing? Or the version on Apple Music?

Both were tested on a MacBook Pro using the internal speakers.

The Apple Music version is an Apple Digital Master, which means that it comes straight off the master recording made by CW.

The Apple Music version is 24-bit 48khz ALAC.

I was FLOORED! The Apple Music version was substantially better!

It may be a very small sample size but it is clear to me.

Mmm what about Amazing Grace from Postcards. I love it but if I wanted to listen I can't listen to it super loud not that it's necessary or needed but..

AFAIK Amazing Grace isn't on Postcards from Apple Music... Unless you're talking about the DVD?

I think Apple Music has the video clip. Yes I meant the video clip from the DVD. For right now I can't listen but a sample short snippet until I log with an account.

Apple Music does have the clip, but I can't get to my copy of the DVD right now.
