Apple Music vs Tidal for SQ

I compared Tidal to Apple music for the first time using speakers, not headphones. Apple seems bright and a bit less smooth the tidal on my system. I never tried the apple codec before but so far not a fan, it seems to have treble that is a bit fatiguing. What is your experience?

Neither.  Go with Qobuz.  MQA is a total farce, and Qobuz has a lot more real hi-res content not altered by some mystical algorithm.

They both blow from what I’ve heard. Doesn’t matter which one is less bad. Give me Qobuz or give me (take me back to) Spotify.

I tried Quoboz about 5 years ago and found it a bit fatiguing, I'll try it again and see what happens. Thanks

If you find Qobuz fatiguing I’d suggest the problem is somewhere else in the chain.
