Hg - No problem here. Just looking for a 2nd opinion on test sample quality vs actual streamed content. BTW - I'm pretty certain the 30 day trial is available with or without "passing" the test.
Tidal HiFi Test - how representative?
To anyone who has taken the Tidal HiFi Test and also subscribes to Tidal HiFi, how representative of actual sound quality is the HiFi sample compared to what you hear as a "premium" subscriber? Are the differences between the A & B samples used in the test indicative of the improvement in SQ subscribers enjoy?
The enthusiastic Tidal advocates posting on A'gon have certainly got me curious.

Ghosthouse, I believe the test is just a sample to get the listener to hear how Tidal will sound through their system. I'm sure it's a premium signal to show the best that they have to offer. I didn't know about the test either, but I can sure hear the difference between Tidal and Spotify. Try it out. I went premium without thinking about it. |
Thanks, A$280...I've been trying to avoid downloading yet another program so was hoping I could get a clue about Tidal sound quality from the test samples they provide. The test doesn't require downloading anything. It is NOT an alternative "test system" to the actual Tidal streaming product. Second point: I might be confused, but when I look at the actual Tidal site (not the HiFi Test screen; see screen at link below) - it looks to me like Tidal Premium is the low cost $9.99/mo option designed to compete price-wise with Spotify, while Tidal HiFi is the high quality uncompressed/lossless option that costs $19.99 per month. So from this, it seems Tidal Premium is definitely not Tidal HiFi. See screen at link here. http://tidal.com/us/try-now Let me know what you think. Thanks. (I do note 30 day free trial) |
