Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound?


I've used Spotify Premium for months. I sometimes stream it to my Creek 5350se and Totem Arros via a Gramofon. I think the Gramofon has a decent/fair DAC. Spotify Premium streams at 320kbps.

I tried Tidal's premium hifi feature today.

I ended up comparing tracks from the two services. Tidal clearly sounds better. CLEARLY.

And this is coming from a guy who thinks a solid gauge lamp cord speaker wire is generally fine.

I'm going to stay with Tidal and now work on getting it to a DAC (somehow) at the Creek.

Digital can sound so good.

I'm pretty sure you can get a DAC card for your Creek, and its not too expensive.
Personally, I love Spotify, as it allows me to enjoy music without a subscription. Tidal is a little costly for me. Although Spotify music can't either be used on other devices without the Spotify app, I get a Spotify music downloader that helps me to locally download music from Spotify so as for offline playback on any device without limits.
