New Tidal Plans and Changes

I prefer Qobuz and that recently went down to $12.99 for the equivalent tier.

Since my DAC is Redbook only, I downgraded to Tidal HiFi. The subscription changed over on the monthly anniversay date. But, the streaming settings need to be checked. Mine defaulted to Normal. I manually changed it back to HiFi. All is copacetic.

Good post. I got the email, no login required. Didn't pay much attention to email, I'll downgrade and save myself some money. I too find myself using Qobuz much more than Tidal these days. The downgrade on Tidal will bring cost in line to my yearly subscription to Qobuz.

For those who have changed their plan from Tidal HiFi Plus to HiFi, have you noticed any loss of content? Given Tidal's strong push for MQA (of which I dislike), they only offer the MQA version when available. It is not possible to choose between MQA and redbook quality.

I am contemplating downgrading my subscription to HiFi as long as I do not lose access to certain tracks and albums. 16/44.1 would be preferred to MQA, and the cost savings would allow for the addition of a Qobuz subscription.

Don't quote me on this, but I don't think there's any difference in content. You'll be able to access all the files but they just won't play at MQA level if you don't have the top tier plan.
