Tidal vs. Spotify


Tidal sounds better for sure. Search functions aren't as good as Spotify but if you are currently using Spotify, give Tidal a try and let me know what you think!

In my very good home desktop system I could not listen to Spotify. It was just very bad sounding. Tidal in that system sounds incredible. This system is comprised of the following:

KEF LS50 speakers
Paraound A23 amp
Benchmark DAC2
Windows 2012 Server R2 Computer

At my work I was able to use Spotify without too much annoyance because my setup was not that great. I have the following there:

Audio Engine A2 speakers ($199)
Emotive XDA-1 DAC ($150)
Windows 2012 Server R2 Computer

However, to my surprise TIDAL also sounds better on this work desktop system. So I do not even listen to Spotify | Beats | Pandora at work anymore. It is all TIDAL.

I am looking forward to getting the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC with Bridge II to listen TIDAL through. This will be for my living room system. With the Bridge II I can use the computer on the home office to stream the music to the DAC.
While I don't use my computer to stream and I don't listen to classical or film music, I find Tidal exemplary. I have only found a few albums or artists so far that Tidal did not have, but for the most part, the catalog is great.

I use a hardwired (Cat6a STP) Sonos Connect, coax out to my DAC in my he-man rig. It sounds very, very good.

I'm also trying Deezer at the same time because I got a free 30 day trial, but so far I like Tidal better.

For me, Tidal is keeper.
Based on this thread and my increasing frustration with the poor sound quality of Spotify through my Sonos I just signed up for Tidal and downloaded it and set it up on my Sonos. From the first few notes I heard, to borrow a phrase from the kids, OMG! Seriously the sound quality is amazing! Not the same catalog depth as Spotify but I am keeping it as this is the best streaming sound I have hear from an online music service! Thanks guys!
Tidal is the real deal, guys. Spotify, not so much. If you can't hear the difference, thats the Good Lord telling you that your better suited for video.
How do I delete a track from a playlist that I created, and added the track to?

I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to delete a few duplicate tracks in a playlist...

The interface with Tidal isn't as good as Spotify. I hope they get this and the music content down because Spotify has Tidal beat, and Pandora worked bettrr on the radio station compared to spotify, and tidal is worse.

Misspell a an Artist by one letter and they arent there, and discovering good new music on Tidal has not been working for me at all. Please Tidal, get this sorted out!!
