I do notice, at times, that not all Tracks are Hi-Fi. Which disappoints me. Especially, when you pay this much each Month.. Everything, should be lossless. My only really big complaint. Hoping that changes and a better UI.

I wonder if Tidal or Qobuz (especially) will offer any 24 bit streaming. Qobuz has a decent 24 bit download collection. It would be wonderful to have access to that for streaming as well.

Qobuz have already launched 24 bit streaming, but to Android only...

Mmmmm....Tidal launched in Brazil today for the equivalent of about US $7.50 month for hifi and half that for low rez. I have a Canadian hifi sub and that still makes it about half the price in C$. I'm going to ditch the Canadian one and hook up with a Brazilian account, since I spend time in both countries and I have Brazilian credit cards. It's a good deal.

Yeah I read up on it. Qobuz 24 bit streaming on desktop or a streamer would be perfect. I'd easily pick Qobuz over Tidal for that.

Are you sure that Hi-Res streaming is possible with songs that have not already been purchased? As far as I'm aware, the only pure 24-bit/192kHz streaming service is from selected tracks on ClassicsOnline HD LL.
 
"Hi-Res API accessibility
To stream on Qobuz in Hi-Res quality, you must completed two conditions :
 
have purchased a product in Hi-Res quality.
You will the following find noted under purchase/getUserPurchases for each product: hires_purchased: true/false
 
be a Qobuz Hi-Fi Sublime subscriber.
You will the following find noted under user/login method , and in credentialparameters, a field named : hires_purchases_streaming = true
 
(users with any other type of Qobuz subscription have the field: hires_purchases_streaming = false)
 
To get be able to import or download in Hi-Res quality on Qobuz it is only necessary to have purchased the product (album or track) in Hi-Res quality, regardless of the user subscription."

In this sense, it would be similar to the unofficial method of using a 1TB / unlimited OneDrive account through Office 365 with CloudBeats on iOS ( https://www.reddit.com/r/audiophile/comments/3gvyg6/microsoft_groove_syncs_with_onedrive_plays_flac/ ) - the official method with Microsoft Groove doesn't even support FLAC uploads ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/3080138#bookmark-system-requirements ), and Google Play Music ( https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1100462 / https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/2d0hje/google_play_music_uploading_full_lossless_files/ ), Amazon Cloud Player / Music Importer Matched Music ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201379310 ) and iTunes in the Cloud / iCloud Music Library / iTunes Match / Apple Music ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_online_music_lockers ) converts them to lower-quality standards.

Yes, you are correct, it appears that Qobuz are only offering hi-res mobile streaming for previously purchased hi-res releases, ho hum.

I just noticed apple is charging me 25.99 for Tidal HIFI when on Tidals website it is only 19.99! What. Has anyone cancelled apple and went to tidal is it a seamless change? I don't want to lose my playlist and my kids have an extensive one as well.

The account should be tied to your username login.  I've joined for a month here and there and it saves everything.  I can even access all of my saved favorites and playlists when my account status is no longer active, I just can't play the music.  It should not be a problem as long as you continue to use the same login account.

Are there any plans for Tidal to do an App for Apple TV? Apologies if this question has been asked before. Obviously I can use Tidal on my other Apple devices via Airplay, but I'd love to be able to navigate on the TV itself. 
 
Thanks!

That would be nice, but I doubt it.

Trying out Amarra for Tidal. I think it does sound good. I'm on speakers now. Anyone else try it?

Thanks Man! yeah that's a rip off from Apple. I will try it this weekend.

Even in a recording designed to be played without interruption, I always find a short gap between "songs". Needless to say it's a bit annoying. Occasionally I find that the album will pause between tracks, which requires taking action. I'm not aware of a way around this.
