Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?


I love Tidal. The sound quality from its Hifi mode (lossless) is truly amazing and awesome. I have lot's of SACDs and lossless on even old recordings in 16/44 rivals it. If you felt sorry that there was not enough Hires content, try Tidal.
My little Chord Hugo dac produces sound that is about on par with my EMM XDS1 cdp. The Tidal streaming even sounds better than the Hires downloads I tried from Acoustic Sounds and Musicdirect. I'm not kidding. I hope people support this because I don't want it to go out of business. Please give it a try. I'm just a user and longtime audiophile with no other interest than keeping this remarkable service alive so I and others can use it.

I am LOVING it! Its become my most used source. I have eveolved to a squeezebox transporter into an esotric upsampler/reclocker into a K03 and the sound is pretty awesome. Use my ipad as the remote and Im in heaven!
Thee is an AWESOME playlist on Tidal called "100 Racks 3.4.2015 Computer Audiophile" that I think is worth checking out.
VERY sorry for my typo MoFi... did not even realize until now. Spent all niht listening to that, and made many of those tunes "favorites" so exploring those artists now. Cecil Mclorin Salvant is aewesome.
I will check them out. Fun thing to do - open one of those playlists and "favorite" the artists you like so you can hear their other stuff.
You an also just search for a composer (or conductor). Search shastakovich or Chopin or Bach.

You will then see the albums as well as any related playlists. Bingo!
Of course I would never do this, but, I can take the digital out of my transporter and connect in to the digital in of my alesis cd burner and you can burn tidal playlists (and albums) onto cd. You would need to do the meta data manually but you can bring those tunes into your car (or bring a compilation disc into the offic, give as gifts).
If you are having buffering issues, you don't have the throughput.  You say you have 'decent' speeds.  Decent is fine for spotify and MP3s but if you want to dance with Tidal, you need 'fast' not 'decent'.  Tidal is the real deal. All else pale. If you can't run Tidal, fix the shortcomings in your system so you can enjoy it.  .
You need a 3rd party app, buddy.  I use iPeng for Tidal (I play it through my transporter).
