On mid-fi do you hear much difference between Tidal and Spotify


If you are using Spotify paid membership and using the 320kbps vs Tidal streaming? I am mostly listening (wired) in my car and headphone with my iPhone and MacBook.

Since the services are very similar I wondered if it is worth the $20 for Tidal HiFi vs $10 for Spotify. Or similarly Tidal Premium at 320kbps at $10.

Thoughts?

For me I would put Apple Music second and Spotify and close 3rd.  Would gladly move to Spotify lossless service as long as Aurender supports it.  Unfortunatly, I'm committed to Aurender hardware and right now they only support Tidal and Qobuz 
Great NPR link. I got every song correct except for the Suzanne Vega track.  To be fair, I did the test initially using my iPhone and a cheap pair of plug style head phones, after getting 2 correct, I did the test again using a decent pair of IME headphones, did a lot better.  I'm still having a hard time hearing the difference with the Suzanne Vega track.  I listen to each track twice, sometimes 3 times. If you know what to listen for, most of the songs are easy.
