TIDAL

I never thought I would have much good to say about streaming sites but that is changing. I just recently signed up for the Tidal MASTERS option.  My previous experience has been with iTunes and even though ten years of buying and listening, I still consider that site to be not much more than listening to a car radio. I was listening through my various Apple gear. But I recently upgraded from a 1999 Mitsubishi Surround Sound system to an Onkyo receiver and ELAC Debut 2.0 F6.2 loudspeakers. TIDAL access comes with the receiver so I am not locked into my MacBook Pro or iPad. That has certainly changed how I listen to music. It is too bad that I have those 1200 iTunes pieces bought and paid for. Even the ELACS can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Is TIDAL MASTER that good? Yep. Even downloaded from the internet with the signal tops chopped off, the music is demonstrably better, even good.
