Apple vs Amazon


I'm not fully committed to streaming yet. DAC is low end. Finishing a 3 month free Apple Music trial. In truth, it doesn't sound that bad to me but tonight I started a 3 month Amazon Music trial and just after spending about an hour with it, it seems to sound better than Apple Music running through the exact same system. Fuller. Richer. More precise bass. No A/B testing, just a general impression. It might even be the music selection. I don't know. Is there any actual reason for this to be true? Or is it just me?

No experience with Amazon’s subscription service yet but am currently using Tidal and Apple.  I prefer Tidal’s SQ significantly over Apple Music but sometimes Tidal is so buggy as to evoke disgust from a pet rock.  I could definitely live with Apple Music if it were the only option but, as of today, I’ll be dropping the Apple trial subscription next month.  If Tidal goes on another 5 day connectivity-drunk, I may change my mind…
