Amazon just killed Tidal

Rodrigo y Gabriels’ “Diablo Rojo” on Qobuz in 16/44 sounds waay better than Amazons Hi-Res...  

Not quite sure whats going on here...

I am missing tons of Micro Detail on Amazon.  Amazon is sounding like spotify; maybe not even that good :(

Way to go Amazon. Tidal customer service sucks (there is none). At least with Amazon you can get a live person. 

The way I see it - this kicks up the competition few notches.  God bless capitalism.  I paid $249.99/year @ Qobuz which I think is still too much. It should be ~ $10/month (gut feel, nothing else). I love Amazon for the fact that it equalizes pricing to some extent.

Not in my experience!

At Amazon you cannot even get a live person any longer, much quicker and simpler to use the chat option to resolve issues.
I must admit that works very well though and resolution to my satisfaction is 100%.

But I am not convinced on their music service, it seems to be no better than when I tried a few months back.
I would say all they are doing right now is out iTuning iTunes.
No serious threat to Qobuz imho right now.

@uberwaltz,

That’s incorrect. You have an option for live chat or human interaction 24/7 with Amazon. Heck, they can even call you. I end up calling twice during my Amazon HD setup, nothing but excellent customer service experience. 

Agree with you on ‘no threat to Qobuz or even Tidal. They have long ways to go before they can match their catalog in high resolution. But it’s a work in progress, give them sometime.
