Tidal vs. Spotify

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.

It is more limited library wise but it is still in its infancy. It can only get better. Albums I searched for a month ago that were not there are available now, so there is new content pretty much weekly. 2bgeorge - that was my bug so I went with ikstream and a squeezebox and have ipeng on my tablet and its just a really good remote interface for me - album art and search functions. I think we have found a use for the defunct squeezebox.
