Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?

As I stated above, I am a big fan of Tidal Streaming. I noticed that Sonic Studio's recently released Amarra for Tidal Streaming (see press release below). The cost is $39. Has anyone tried used Amarra for Tidal?

Sonic Studio Reveals Definitive TIDAL Delivery Platform

Company announces Amarra for TIDAL streaming music player for Mac and Windows

15 MAY 2015

FAIRFAX, CA — Sonic Studio, US manufacturer of high performance music software, outlined the upcoming release of version 1.0 of Amarra for TIDAL. The latest member of the technology family, Amarra for TIDAL joins Amarra, Amarra Hifi, Amarra sQ+ and Amarra Symphony High Resolution Audio (HRA) player software for higher fidelity music enjoyment.

Recent trends in consumer audio have hastened the rise in popularity of HRA, including new higher resolution, network streaming services. Sweden–based TIDAL, controlled by Jay-Z’s Project Panther Bidco, leads the way with their massive multimedia library and strong artist support. Built using the Amarra Audio Engine, an optimized audio pipeline bypassing the computer’s audio software, Amarra for TIDAL is ready for a truly hi–fi exploration of TIDAL’s vast music collection. Being software–only, Amarra for TIDAL is future–proof and easily upgradable as TIDAL’s services evolve toward even higher fidelity.

Developed in conjunction with TIDAL’s engineers, Amarra for TIDAL delivers “bit–perfect,” high resolution music. The Amarra Remote feature for iOS frees users to control their music throughout the home. With support for both Macintosh OS X 10.9 and 10.10 as well as Windows 7 and 8, it is a true cross–platform solution that provides the best fidelity available for playback of TIDAL’s 44.1kHz, 16 bit streaming music service.

Amarra for TIDAL includes professional–grade Sonic EQ and 14 factory presets providing compensation curves for popular headphone models from Apple, Audeze, Grado and others, while additional presets address popular music genres, from acoustic and classical to jazz and rock. Users may also personalize their presets and save them to be recalled at any time.

Founder and company President Jonathan Reichbach saw that, with the emergence of high resolution audio services like TIDAL from Aspiro, the integration of Amarra can provide substantial benefits to streaming audio listeners. “The days of the MP3 are finally over,” Reichbach said, “...and thanks to Amarra for TIDAL, streaming an endless library of songs now sounds better than ever before.”

Amarra for TIDAL is the ultimate music playback solution for streaming audio, and will be available from the Sonic Studio web site for US$39.95, while the free Amarra Remote app will be available from the iTunes Music Store. For more information on the entire Amarra family, visit Sonic’s web site at SONICSTUDIO.COM or e–mail sales@sonicstudio.com.

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!

I keep finding amazing rare stuff on Tidal like Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974. All sorts of great obscure original versions of well known songs. And thanks for that Ncarv. Those are awesome brilliant songs IMHO.

I'd like to run it USB in. How are you guys getting it into your systems? I have a CD player with USB in that is my fave but can't figure a way to get it done except to run a computer into it.

I also love Tidal even for $20/month fee. Yes, they not cheap but worth every penny. They made all music sound sweet without any tweaks.
i stream with Sonos and Parasound Dac for less that $1K. Wonderful deal...

I also love Tidal. It makes me wonder if I need physical media at all. My LP's, CD's, and hard drive all require care and space to one degree or another. And what a pleasure to sit on the couch and call up new releases on my system from my iPad or android phone.

And, Rgs92, I do remember The Orlons . . . "South Street," "Don't Hang Up" and "The Wah Watusi."

I also like listening to Tidal Streaming music because it is easy to use and I love the variety. Of course, the best part is their excellent uncompressed sound quality. In addition, I can change my mind on an album and quickly find a different album to listen to. The flexibility and sound quality of Tidal is a big listening plus for me.

Tidal music selections are improving and additional albums are always being added. There is a very slight delay when starting music on Tidal and another slight delay from song to song. This is not a problem for me since the sound quality is very good.

Tidal also offers various play lists you can select or you select your own album. Another advantage with Tidal is that you can select an album and then page down to see additional albums by that artist. Tidal Streaming is ONLY available on the Chrome browser so I installed it on my MAC Book Pro computer.

You need to decide if the Tidal $20 per month charge is worth it. I feel the Tidal sound quality is well worth the $20. I suggest you give Tidal a try for one month and then decide.

Tidal Customer Service is excellent. Last week, I discovered that Tidal played one song from an album and stopped. I immediately contacted Tidal and they very quickly reported they had a temporary outage on their server’s; as a result there were a variety of playback errors that occurred. Everything is operating smoothly now. They stated they were very sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and are working very hard to make sure this does not happen again.

I highly recommend Tidal Streaming.

Tidal says it has a free 30 day trial, but everything I try asks for credit card info
Are the samples low rez files

Thanks

Yep, Tidal could have fooled me into believing I suddenly had upgraded to a megabuck DAC or amp. I don't usually go totally overboard on anything audio, with listening for pluses and minuses, but to my ears, this is 100/100, like magic. I'll probably get flamed, but so be it, I'm just being honest here. I listen to a lot of old crappy 60's/70's music, and somehow Tidal gives it new life like I never heard on my own CDs, and maybe tied with my SACDs of this. (Anyone remember South Street by the Orlons? Oh well, just me I guess...)

I don't understand the problem with a family plan. Once you have a password you can log onto any computer. Unless you are talking about multipul people listening to different music at the same time.I don't know what would happen if you logged into Tidal on 2 or more computers

I also love Tidal. The only thing I miss from Spotify is their remote iPad app so I can control song choice and volume from my ipad. I hope Tidal comes out with that feature soon.

It's a shame more music lovers don't value sound quality; I'll be grief-stricken if Tidal doesn't succeed. I have no faith in anything Apple is working on either. As much as I like my iPhone and some Apple products, iTunes is like something from the 1990's.

Keep up the good work, Tidal.

I get my Lampizator Big 7 DAC in a couple of days - can't wait to put it through its paces on Tidal.

OK you got me to bite. Signed up and 1st tune I listed to was Paula Cole, "Tiger". Very impressive. That song has an extremely wide sound range. The bass notes shuffled the wifes china around the cupboards a bit. I love it when it does that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Listening right now. I think it is great. It integrates seamlessly with my Lumin A1 player..I,too,have not stopped downloading HD albums.Will try Roon when they create an iPad controller app.

I put my self on the waiting list as soon as I read that Tidal was coming to the US, and signed up on day one. I love it too; a great way to discover music and the sound is lovely through a little Parasound ZDAC from a MacBook Pro.

I'll add that I love it too, quality, variety. They are always looking to add more on both fronts. What's interesting for me is that it does not reduce my desire to purchase cd/sacd in fact the diversity of the program allows me to listen to things I may not have and if I really like it I'll purchase it.

Tidal is great, I enjoy it every day since subscribing. Check out Roon at roonlabs.com if you haven't already. I use Roon as my music server software, itegrates Tidal seamlessly.

I've been a Tidal cheerleader since day one, which was when I signed up.

Tidal's da bomb...

I agree. I just wish they would have a family plan so that I didn't have to have 2 subscription services.

I also love Tidal and agree with everything you say. I also stream from Clssicsonline which streams classical music up to 24/192. A great site for classical music lovers. It is created by Naxos
