Spotify vs other streaming services

@mahler123.
We have been waiting for Quboz for a LONG time now. Still no actual firm launch date here in USA

Tidal's sound is way better than Spotify.  I do like Spotify for the ease of using and creating playlists.  Spotify is good if you have a bluetooth speaker that you can move around.  Tidal is good if you want to listen to great music on your two channel system.

I just re-joined Tidal to hear the situation for myself.
YES! There is a big difference in SQ!
Now what am I gonna do with all my CDs?
Well, I still have records.
 
Thanks to all for alerting me.

Upon AB ing Tidal with identical CDs played on my transport (both plugged into the same DAC) I find the quality slightly, but importantly, better for classical, in the CD.
Still and all, the Tidal is very impressive.
 For casual listening I’ll  stream, but for maximal musical enjoyment, I’ll probably stick with the CDs.

Tidal is excellent.

The difference could be your DAC input or SPL level or different masters. Not all DACs are good at jitter rejection for example and therefore the source can make a difference even if the bits are identical.
