It depends. For me Tidal is about convenience when I don't have time, or don't want to play an album or dig out a CD. I also use Audrivana for my DSD's, but I love the selection of Tidal, and I'll tell you sounds pretty good coming out of my Legacy Classic HD's. Sure, there is a bit of SQ drop off as compared to my other media but it's about finding new music and ease. I also run Tidal on my built in speakers around the house when entertaining as I've built some great playlists.
I may get roasted for this, but you don't have to be an "audiophile" 100% of the time. Sometimes more than not it's about the music you enjoy listening too, versus listening to the perfect recordings to get the most out of your system.
