For the record I was trying Tidals 320kps aac stream to their own Hifi one and not to other services and could not tell the difference at all which may be a good or a bad thing depending on your point of view. Paying £20 per month I expect a major difference from compressed to lossless.
I have compared it with Spotify and there is a difference not massive though. I do find that Spotify always sounds different to everything else. I prefer to use Google Play these days as its recommendations and random playlists are so much better. Also I think it sounds better than spotify, cant compare to tidal now as sub has expired. I just think for most listening Google suffices and is a good price considering it can house 20000 of my own songs as well. Tidal is just too much to pay for not enough difference. I also test my own compressed files to the originals and lossless encodes and cant really discern a difference. May be years of going to loud gigs and age have taken there toll on my hearing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ crystalgipsy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=62489 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102381
