Just FYI: Tidal is consolidating their HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers


Tidal took away the cheaper yearly subscription I had bought through Best Buy, which really made me mad, but they are doing this soon (see below) to better compete in the marketplace with Amazon, Qobuz, and Apple.

TIDAL

"Starting April 10, 2024, you will now get access to our music library in full lossless, HiRes FLAC, and Dolby Atmos sound for the same price you pay today of $10.99 (plus applicable sales tax)/month.

This is because we’re making it easier for everyone to enjoy best-in-class sound quality by combining our HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers into a single subscription tier called TIDAL.

You will see these changes reflected on your Subscription page on your first billing date on or after April 10, 2024. Thanks for choosing to be a TIDAL subscriber."

Is anyone here a fan of Dolby Atmos mixes? Other than Steven Wilson, who else does them well?

I just learned this too.  I had the Hi Fi plus subscription so while the are ending the military discount they are also lower the cost of the subscription I had.

I'm considering adding a second streaming subscription - Qobuz, Deezer or possibly Spotify.  My DAC integrates directly with all though Roon only integrates with Qobuz.  

I've preferred Tidal over Qobuz based on music library content.

@moonwatcher Curiosity killed the cat.  I'm very pleased with Tidal.  I occasionally find versions and mix change that I'd wish they hadn't.

Ultimately my consideration for Deeze, Qobus or Spotify has to do with integration into Room or my streamer's app.
