Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ


I compared Tidal to Apple music for the first time using speakers, not headphones. Apple seems bright and a bit less smooth the tidal on my system. I never tried the apple codec before but so far not a fan, it seems to have treble that is a bit fatiguing. What is your experience?

I wouldn’t make a blanket statement that Qobuz is better than Tidal. Here’s why…

  • Some albums available on Tidal, missing on Qobuz. 
  • Redbook versions of some albums sound better on Tidal

Both Tidal and Qobuz, however, sound better than Apple Music with almost anything I listen to even in the car or in the gym with headphones.
