Which site is Best for Downloading/Uploading Hi Rez

Hi,

   I quite new to this game of streaming,uploading and High resolution music.Ive been for a good part of my life into Vinyl/CD.I would say for the last 1 or so ive been dabbling into the world of internet coupled with audio.I bought about 6 months ago a Cambridge CNX Internet Music Player(Streamer),and I must say,its quite impressive! I was excpecting it to sound artificial and "Clinical" sounding,but to my surprise it was natural in sound.Ive also gotton into DAPs or digital audio players! Im only using Spotify,and im not too sure what sampling rate this would be considered? Does there exist particular sites that I could get "High Rez" music,and that it wouldnt cost me much more than Spotify or even Tidal?

Just quoting from a review at "What Hi Fi" that some one shared with me kalali..

Unless I totally read into this the wrong way,its seems to be the case.Although Im not one to believe everything thats been put down in "Black and White" either! I rather do my own testing,and follow it with my own findings..

You can stream tidal right from your mobile phone if you want to, I do in the car!

What HiFi is definitely wrong on that one!

Tidal can be streamed by desktop pc ( worst interface imho!), laptop, tablet, ipad, iPhone, droid phone etc etc etc.
Basically anything you can download a Tidal app to you can stream from it.

Trust me I have been doing exactly this for nigh on 2 years!

I do have a Bluesound Vault 2 that I use at home and in all honesty the Tidal interface WITHIN the Bluos app is by far superior to any other I have tried,

No idea at present on Deezer and MQA,i am just waiting for Quboz to go live here in the USA.

Deezer is a good alternative to Tidal at the lower standard rate of 9.99 a month which both then give redbook cd streaming of 16/44.

I just looked up the Tidal review by What Hi Fi.  This is a verbatim quote from that review:  “Tidal Hi Fi members wanting to take advantage of Masters are currently limited to the desktop apps, though owners of a Bluesound Node 2 streamer can connect directly to Tidal Masters via the Bluesound app, negating the need for a PC or laptop”

So it appears you got some erroneous information second hand?

I can 100% confirm Tidal Masters or MQA is available through the Bluesound vault2 via the Bluos app.

I honestly do not think there is any way for any app to differentiate between desktop pc and laptop tbh, after all a LOT of people do not even have a desktop any longer, just a laptop or even a powerful tablet.

But now I do see you were specifically referring to the masters side of Tidal.

Still some more options than WhatHiFi were indicating.
