RE: Tidal is lossless. Well, not really.That's probably technically true, because of Tidal's reliance on MQA.
Tidal and other streaming services, must compress to fit a lot of channels into a small stream.Oh no, that's mistaken. Qobuz, for instance, is hi-res and completely uncompressed.
I have never heard a streaming service that compares to the best in home sources, at least on good recordings. IMnsHO, anyone who touts such has not heard a really good system.Perhaps you should go back and check your streamer and DAC settings, because - as you state - you're somehow listening to compressed audio.
