So I am a technical project manager for wireless carrier Sprint in the states. Sprint launched a new wireless plan on Friday called Sprint Unlimited plus. It comes with Hulu and Tidal.

I downloaded Tidal today. First album: David Bowie Live Soundtrack from Spiders from Mars.

Here is what I've learned so far.
1.Tidal doesn't do gapless.
2.My Galaxy S7 is nowhere near as good as my ipod MP3 320 into my RSA predator.
3.I can't get a good volume level with the phone. Either too low or too loud.

All above with the KZ-ZS5.

I'm sure I will enjoy discovering new music with Tidal. But not blown away at the moment.

BTW. Reason I didn't have a streaming service e already so because I have Sooooooo much of my own music that I saw no need to pay a monthly subscription for something I would use 5-10% of the time or less.

That's a shame! My Pixel 2 has a pretty neat DAC, pretty much entry level. Was your Tidal playing the highest possible file quality?

I don't do streaming either although I have never tried tidal, the galaxy S7 is not as good as any of my daps for sound quality although ideal for my new intended use with the kayak as obviously phone and semi waterproof as well, but I think most lower priced daps would trounce it like the little MO.

Well Wimbledon final and world cup final today and I have already taken root on the sofa ready for a lazy day , I will watch an hour of the tennis then world cup final, its really crap planning by both governing body's that they coincide.
Here's a tune for all the sofa surfers this afternoon

 

[HungryPanda]

Yes I'm looking forward to the World Cup final, that is if the French don't cheat so much. I'm up for Croatia, the plucky heart felt team

I'm not too bothered on the outcome although I probably do lean more to Croatia, I'm just hoping it's a good match and not a boring hesitant affair.

 

[HungryPanda]

A good match is all we can hope for

 

[majo123]

A good match is all we can hope for

Ennio morricone wrote a football song!

I'll never look at the good , the Bad, the ugly the same again.

 

[majo123]

And this one also from the film it's probably my favourite film for soundtracks

 

[majo123]

I'm going to have to watch it again now lol

 

[majo123]

I reckon the tennis will probably be over before the football even starts! Djokovic is nailing it at the moment.

I did find the quality settings. I had to change it to high-quality. But I was not familiar with the David Bowie album, so I will need to find something I know and listen to it again.

Djokovic has just won Wimbledon, I have had the tennis and the football on at the same time....who says men can't multitask

 

[mbwilson111]

who says men can't multitask

I never say that. I am the one who can't multitask.

Been a good match so far...not a thriller but pretty good.
