| TIDAL I started using Tidal a few months ago and am very impressed with the sound quality. Way better than iTunes. Certainly as good as any CD I own and the 24/96 and above material is certainly as good as any digital files I have purchased on HDtracks.... | |

| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? Thanks cmjones (OP), this is an interesting discussion that has given me a lot of good ideas for demonstrating my system (some would say playing with). Especially now I have a Tidal subscription. Having fun with HiFi all over again.Marcus |
