Anyone love TIDAL lossless streaming like I do?

I love Tidal. The sound quality from its Hifi mode (lossless) is truly amazing and awesome. I have lot's of SACDs and lossless on even old recordings in 16/44 rivals it. If you felt sorry that there was not enough Hires content, try Tidal.
My little Chord Hugo dac produces sound that is about on par with my EMM XDS1 cdp. The Tidal streaming even sounds better than the Hires downloads I tried from Acoustic Sounds and Musicdirect. I'm not kidding. I hope people support this because I don't want it to go out of business. Please give it a try. I'm just a user and longtime audiophile with no other interest than keeping this remarkable service alive so I and others can use it.

I put my self on the waiting list as soon as I read that Tidal was coming to the US, and signed up on day one. I love it too; a great way to discover music and the sound is lovely through a little Parasound ZDAC from a MacBook Pro.

I also love Tidal. The only thing I miss from Spotify is their remote iPad app so I can control song choice and volume from my ipad. I hope Tidal comes out with that feature soon.

It's a shame more music lovers don't value sound quality; I'll be grief-stricken if Tidal doesn't succeed. I have no faith in anything Apple is working on either. As much as I like my iPhone and some Apple products, iTunes is like something from the 1990's.

Keep up the good work, Tidal.

I get my Lampizator Big 7 DAC in a couple of days - can't wait to put it through its paces on Tidal.

I don't understand the problem with a family plan. Once you have a password you can log onto any computer. Unless you are talking about multipul people listening to different music at the same time.I don't know what would happen if you logged into Tidal on 2 or more computers

OK you got me to bite. Signed up and 1st tune I listed to was Paula Cole, "Tiger". Very impressive. That song has an extremely wide sound range. The bass notes shuffled the wifes china around the cupboards a bit. I love it when it does that. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yep, Tidal could have fooled me into believing I suddenly had upgraded to a megabuck DAC or amp. I don't usually go totally overboard on anything audio, with listening for pluses and minuses, but to my ears, this is 100/100, like magic. I'll probably get flamed, but so be it, I'm just being honest here. I listen to a lot of old crappy 60's/70's music, and somehow Tidal gives it new life like I never heard on my own CDs, and maybe tied with my SACDs of this. (Anyone remember South Street by the Orlons? Oh well, just me I guess...)
