Amazon is for audiophiles.

That was the surprising news on Tuesday, as the e-tailing giant unveiled a music-streaming service that delivers higher-quality audio than what can be heard on Spotify or Apple Music.

The new streaming service, called Amazon Music HD, delivers CD-quality digital music files, like Jay-Z’s Tidal music-streaming service. But Amazon said its new service only costs $14.99 a month, versus $19.99 a month for Tidal.

Amazon Prime members can get the new service for $12.99 a month, the company said Tuesday.

The announcement got a plug from rock legend Neil Young, who has long lamented the poor audio quality of music-streaming services and mp3 files. In 2015, Young had launched a high-res digital music player called Pono, but shut it down two years later.

“Earth will be changed forever when Amazon introduces high-quality streaming to the masses,” Young said in a press release from Amazon. “This will be the biggest thing to happen in music since the introduction of digital audio 40 years ago.”

Amazon Prime users who pony up the extra dough will have access to more than 50 million songs “in the highest-quality streaming audio” — a bit less than the 60 million songs that are currently available on Tidal.

In addition to a massive trove of CD-quality tracks, Amazon said it will also offer “millions of songs” in formats that offer more than 10 times the musical resolution of what’s found on Spotify or Apple Music.

The new service is currently available in the US, UK, Germany and Japan. Amazon is also offering a 90-day free trial of Amazon Music HD, matching Apple Music’s 3-month free trial.

Neither Spotify nor Apple — who combined have nearly 300 million subscribers — offer a lossless tier of their services.

Shares of Amazon finished the day up 0.8 percent at $1,822.55, while Spotify and Apple closed up 0.7 percent and 0.4 percent at $129.11 and $220.70, respectively.
