I was turned on to Tidal about a month ago and I love it. There is so much music to choose from. Is it for audiophiles...I definitely think so.
First, I was previosuly using Sirius/XM in my car all the time. Now with streaming (or locally saved music on my iphone) from Tidal, the quality is so much better! That was an immediate upgrade to my daily commute. Sure it’s not my home rig, but better sounding music is still better and all audiophiles can apppreciste that.
I’ve been streaming Tidal through Roon into my home audio system, using appleTV -> Belcanto DAC and its not as good as my MCormmack UDP-1 CD player after A/B testing the same song tracks equalized for volume.
I’m expecting all that to change when I have my new streaming digital solution in place tomorrow. Roon/Tidal -> ultraRendu (powered by UpTone LPS10) -> Schiit Yggy
The rest of the System is Marantz (pre), VTL s-400 (amp) and Wilson Maxx II.
Then in I will really be able to see if this is true audiophile quality.
Nonetheless, having all this music at my fingertips is amazing!
