Finally "HiFi" streaming - comments on Tidal???

Tidalhifi has entered the streaming market with what it is calling "lossless" playback. I believe it is certainly the highest quality streaming service. I just got it ($20/mo) and it clearly out-performs Beats and Pandora on my systems. It is way cool to look up songs that I love but not enough to buy the CD to get a lossless recording. It's not cheap for sure but it sure is nice.

My next step is to try to get Amarra sQ to work with it. Anyone able to do that?

Wow...you guys are late to the game. This was discussed over a month ago.

Hgeifman...I've never had the problem that you've had with the favorites category. If I'm on the album and save it, it goes to albums, if I'm on the artist, it goes into the artist favorites.

I just got done adding hundreds of artists to my favorites list from my Olive 04HD list and all of them went in correctly.

The one thing I wish they would fix on the SONOS system, is right now you can't use the "Artist Radio" function like you can on the webplayer.

Justubes2...Tidal is considered "high quality" which means the sampling rate is 16 bit, 44.1k, which is exactly what a CD is. Deezer also has this, but does have some content that is MP3 (320k).

Spotify/Beats/Rhapsody are only MP3 at 320k, so a CD will sound quite bit better than these.

MP3's maximum is 320k
CD quality is 1411k (at 16 bit, 44.1)

Almost 5 times the resolution.
