I have both.
Tidal is great if you really want to hear the absolute best sound quality, but Spotify sounds great also. There's a difference in sound quality between Tidal Masters and everything else on both services, but "HI-FI" on both is supposed to be "CD quality".
That DAC is a few years old, no? It's not going to support MQA through Tidal.
Tidal is tipped towards hip-hop, R&B, and other new artists. I think you'll find a lot more in the way of playlists and "stations" on Spotify that caters to the type of music you enjoy. You'll be able to find most of the types of music you mentioned on Tidal also, it just won't be featured on Tidal.
Unless you have "golden ears" and plan to upgrade your DAC, Spotify might be the best choice for you.
