I am investigating Tidal and have earmarked my normal stuff and also a bunch of remastered stuff. I was really blown away by a Phil Collins remaster I listened to.
@portlandlay I'm really enjoying it. Much more music available to me now. I'm sure the Bob Seger thing is due to contractual issues between Seger and Tidal. Would be interested to know if he's in Spotify.
Couldn't agree more with treebeard1. I simultaneously A/B'ed my CDs of Natalie Merchant's "Tigerlily" and the Parton/Ronstandt/Harris "Trio". (Those were the only ones of their "Masters" [=MQA] series that I happen to own.) Bigger soundstage, more depth, clarity and presence, cymbals had more ching, drums more bop, and the tracks even sound like more instruments have been added. Just wish everything Tidal has will be MQA'ed. (Dreaming's still free, right?)
On the other hand, I listened to Aerosmith - Draw the Line today in the car and it sounded like it was recorded with one of those USB TT using a well worn album. It was so bad I turned it off and settled for silence.
