I had both at the same time to compare. I found Tidal to sound a little better and much preferred the GUI on Tidal over Deezer.
I kept Tidal. YMMV

features - Tidal vs Deezer Elite
Hi all-
I'm home demo-ing an Aries streamer this weekend and trying out Tidal. I like the streamer, I'm not sure about Tidal. Technically, it's working well (no dropouts) but I'm not thrilled with the feature set. What I most wanted this for was not to create my own playlists or to call up records I already know but to stream a jazz "channel" or a rock "channel" etc. (Something like what Pandora does when you give it a song you like and it creates a station...) I'm not sure the curated playlists do it for me. And I also note that the "genre" function doesn't seem to appear in the Tidal app on the Aries anyway. It also just seems a bit buggy and not as intuitive as I had hoped.
How well does the interface for Deezer Elite work? Can I select a few jazz songs I like, and have it create a station for me, etc? And is Deezer Elite coming to Aries? If not and it has more of the features I care about, I might try Sonos (probably with a Synchro-Mesh from Empirical Audio to clean up the jitter).
Thoughts from those who have tried Deezer Elite vs Tidal?
Thanks-
Margot
