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.

Count me in as another Tidal fan.  So much music - too little time!  I am a relative tyro with it but let me share how I enjoy it in 4 different settings:

In my main system, I run the latest version of Audirvana + on a Mac Mini which now supports Tidal.  An available A+ remote app allows control of Audirvana (and Tidal functions) remotely on iOS devices.  I probably listen to Tidal least in this system preferring to wallow in the glory of my musty vinyl collection here.

In our main living area, I use a Sonos Connect amp to drive Sonus Faber Guarneri speakers and a Rel sub. I access Tidal (and my digital music files on a NAS drive) with the Sonos app. I listen to Tidal most of the time here - the sound is unbelievably good.

In my office, I stream Tidal from their website on my Macbook via a Logitech bluetooth to RCA adaptor that feeds a 20 year old JVC mini-system.  Amazing sound.

Finally, I have a couple of Sonos Play 3 speakers.  We stream music from my library and Tidal through these out in the yard.  Absolutely knocks the socks off my aged contemporaries when they are over as I stream from the "Retro" genre on Tidal.  Sounds like crap but it's the music that matters.

Sonos and Tidal have changed the way I listen to music...in a very positive way.
