Tidal vs. Spotify

If you can't hear the difference between MP3 spotify and uncompresed tidal, your system is prettty under audiogon par. probably a good thing... your kids will have shoes and go to college (no job but still have shoes..). No one with a big rig can listen to spotify and be 'satisfied'but tidal is an excellent listening experience. Thats the difference. Spotify may be adequate to some but this is the audiogon forum. 320 mps can't do it, buddy. the signal is not there. The difference between 320 and 44.1 is huge and should be a system calibrator, IE if you can't hear it, keep upgrading till you do.

Err, I have no experience with streaming, but presently I have double DSD with up sampling and 2.8 mHz for SACDs. I have little interest in Tidal but have heard it is far superior to Spotify. I might like it for a home intercom system except that I get NPR news there as well good classical and jazz broadcast there.

Bcgator, if you are playing through the browser, you need google chrome, but not a winner for me, due to lags... Try the downloaded player. Ickstream is awesome.

Justtubes, the beauty of tidal is what you didn't try.

Just installed Tidal, had been using Spotify. Tidal is much better. My draw back is the selection of music appears a little bit more limited.
My one question is how do I get my android phone or tablet to act as a remote off my laptop that streams to my DAC in my sound system? I have Tidal installed on both android devices but it does not recognize the laptop. With Spotify I got the message "connect to my PC". Present setup with Tidal plays independently on each device.
It's nice to sit and listen with a remote device in your hand.
