Tidal hifi

You can sign up for a 30 day free trial and decide for yourself. Alternatives to consider are Apple Music lossless launching this month, Spotify HiFi later this year, Amazon Music HD, and Qobuz.

Where are you located? In the US, Tidal HiFi is not premium price if you subscribe through Best Buy. $120/year ($100 if you register and sign in with free bestbuy.com account). For those who currently have an active Tidal account, you can cancel it and let it expire after your monthly renewal date, then do the Best Buy subscription without losing playlists and favorites.

My comparison between Tidal and Amazon lead to me adopting Amazon. I'm a Prime member so this is $13 bucks a month and the catalog has many things (classical, jazz) that I couldn't find on Tidal. Sound quality impossible to tell apart, for me.

Qobuz is better for my tastes but Tidal is still an excellent service do a free trial of both and see which you prefer.

“Is tidal hifi worth the premium price in your humble opinion?”

OP,

Well it depends, many here are quite happy with subpar Spotify streaming as they value content over superb sound quality offered by Qobuz and Tidal. How resolving your system is? Is streaming your prime source of listening?

IMO, it’s worth the $120/yr that the subscription is slated to be for me next year via Best Buy.  This is provided SQ stays the same or better and selection stays very...very...comparable if not identical.

I’d like to see high-rez music services become a bit less than $10/month with enhanced competition from an increased number of providers...time will tell.
