[On The And Of 1]

Would love to see a comparison of available albums (quantity) on Tidal vs Spotify by genre.  If and when Spotify goes high res, those numbers might make the difference for many users. Of course, that could be years away.

This, maybe what the majority of streaming interactors await?
Nevertheless competitive interaction fuels purpose and potential service.

exactly you watch: if spotify offers lossless then all those apps and better UI and 'discovery' lists will most likely get improved.
sorry Tidal, too little too late

I have a Tidal student account which is 1/2 the price of Hifi. I bet Spotify price will be equal or at least very close the Tidal full price. So, this will cost me more money per month to switch.

Spotify has done 1/2 price student discount for years, man, where you been?

I am so happy!!
 
I just tried Tidal Hifi free offer and I cannot hear a difference with Spotify

. I just saved 10$ per month! 

 
Lucky me... 
 
Seriously, do you REALLY hear a difference ?? I tried Tidal with all my headphones and I found no differences... zero, nada nothing!

I have yet to hear a difference, and that's including back when I was on an Audeze/Schitt setup. I spent hours going around, testing track after track. I think it's nice to KNOW that you have lossless, but that's about all.

That exactly what I think... Back to Spotify for me.

Let's hope Roon labs can make more successful inroads with Spotify if they offer lossless...fingers crossed the 2nd Time around

The only reason I am with Tidal is the integration with Roon. I would have dumped them long ago if I had another option.

Anyone still have room in their Tidal family membership? Would gladly join in

It's nice that Roon finally has Tidal Masters (MQA) in its own category now, Masters Playlists too, similar to the Tidal desktop app.

We've been talking about this same thing in the Audiophile iOS player thread.  While I can hear a slight improvement on my home system with Tidal, I have been unable to hear any difference (regardless of dac or headphone) on the iPhone with Tidal vs. Apple Music.  In fact, I would argue that most of the time, the Apple Music version sounds better.  Chalk it up to the master version used.  I do have Roon and it's interface is great with Tidal.  There are times, though, that I really question whether the extra $10 a month is worth it.  Personal preference and to each their own, I guess.

There was someone on either here or Reddit a while ago who said they never gave FLAC lossless to the label, 320kbps only, and yet somehow their album was "lossless" through Tidal.

There was someone somewhere who told me we never landed on the moon.
