Amazon just killed Tidal


Today Amazon released Amazon Music Unlimited HD streaming for $12.99 per month for  Amazon Prime members.

There is a free trial.

Streaming is in CD and High Rez quality!

50 million songs!

Just started my subscription. More info later.

I have Qobuz Premier, Tidal Hifi and Amazon HD.

My primary system has a Parasound A21 amp feeding Focal Electra 1038Be (reasonably revealing speakers).

I have done many hours of quality comparisons. In my room, on my system, here are the rankings:

Amazon Music HD (HEOS) >>  Qobuz (native app) > Tidal (HEOS) > Tidal (native app) > Amazon Music HD (native app).

Amazon Music HD (iOS or Android app) sounds quite crappy. Streamed from HEOS, it is amazing. Sad, as the HEOS streaming app does not work that well with Amazon (though it does fine with Tidal).

I shall experiment with other streamers too (getting a Bluesound one).
