Tidal vs. Spotify

While I don't use my computer to stream and I don't listen to classical or film music, I find Tidal exemplary. I have only found a few albums or artists so far that Tidal did not have, but for the most part, the catalog is great.

I use a hardwired (Cat6a STP) Sonos Connect, coax out to my DAC in my he-man rig. It sounds very, very good.

I'm also trying Deezer at the same time because I got a free 30 day trial, but so far I like Tidal better.

For me, Tidal is keeper.

You just launch Chrome instead of Safari as the web browser.
Then go to Tidalhifi.com. Tidal will automatically know.

Tidal has "Artist" radio, but not a genre category like Sirius/XM. It lets you play similar artists to the one you choose, (kinda like stations on Pandora), but not like 60's or 70's or Classic Rock or Deep Tracks, etc. that Sirius/XM has.

I have read a few posts that people have claimed that Tidal doesn't really sound any better than Spotify/Beats/Rhapsody. I must have either a really crappy system or a ultra hi-rez system because the difference on my system is remarkable. Tidal is so much better, it's not even close. But hey, if you can save the money with Spotify, then cool.

I think that the success, (or lack thereof) with Tidal depends on how you feed it to your system.
