Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?


I read that a lot of people on this forum use Tidal etc. Is this ok from audiophile perspective? I mean, do people who use such services actually know what quality is streamed? Don’t you lose all control over your music when you surrender to streaming services?

I also like listening to Tidal Streaming music because it is easy to use and I love the variety.  Of course, the BEST part is their excellent uncompressed sound quality.   In addition, I can change my mind on an album and quickly find a different album to listen to.  The flexibility and outstanding sound quality of Tidal is a big listening plus for me.
 

Tidal music selections are improving and additional albums are always being added including MQA Albums.   Tidal also offers various play lists you can select or you select your own album.  Another advantage with Tidal is that you can select an album and then page down to see additional albums by that artist.

You can go to the genres tab, and then select classical music, jazz, country, etc.  Here you will see a variety of content.

You need to decide if the Tidal $20 per month charge is worth it. I feel the Tidal sound quality is well worth the $20.  I suggest you give Tidal a try for one month and then decide.  I highly recommend Tidal Streaming.
