Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?

For those interested, here's a link to the "test" at Tidal.

Mofi - would you say the HiFi samples offered in the test are similar in sound quality to what you are getting while streaming? Thanks in advance.

Ghost...sorry, my computer isn't hooked up to my system. I use a Sonos Connect out to my DAC for Tidal access, so I really can't do an accurate hearing test.

I tried to listen to the HiFi Test on my computer, but the speakers aren't conducive enough to make a judgement.

Maybe someone else who uses their computer can chime in.

MoFi - Oh...okay, no problem. Thanks for trying. Yes, the differences I heard between A & B samples w/headphones are not likely to be audible w/most built-in computer speakers. Hoping some of the Tidal champions will comment.

I feel like when I signed up it was like a 7 day trial? This was perhaps 6 months ago. I was instantly hooked and I think the quality is superb. I also use a Sonos Connect outputting to a DAC. I just tried the test via my crappy laptop speakers with the laptop sitting on my lap and managed 2 out of 5. Not a particularly scientific method especially through bandwidth limited transducers where more compressed music may actually sound better. Cool idea though.

I listen to Tidal Streaming music using my MAC Book Pro Computer. As others have done above, I signed up several months after Tidal announced its availability in the US. I was immediately hooked. I did not know they have Tidal HiFi Test but my guess is the sound quality is the same regardless of test or paid subscription.

The best part of Tidal is their excellent uncompressed sound quality. In addition, I can change my mind on an album and quickly find a different album to listen to. The flexibility and sound quality of Tidal is a big listening plus for me.

Tidal music selections are improving and additional albums are always being added. There is a very slight delay when starting music on Tidal and another slight delay from song to song. This is not a problem for me since the sound quality is very good.

Tidal also offers various play lists you can select or you select your own album. Another advantage with Tidal is that you can select an album and then page down to see additional albums by that artist. When I signed up, Tidal Streaming was ONLY available on the Chrome browser so I installed it on my MAC Book Pro computer. It may be available on other browsers (I do not know).

You need to decide if the Tidal $20 per month charge is worth it. I feel the Tidal sound quality is well worth the $20. I suggest you give Tidal a try for one month and then decide. I highly recommend Tidal Streaming.
