Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions?

Sorry in advance for my elementary question;

To what device do you stream to to get the best sound quality? 

Also, I have a Macbook and an Apple TV.  I want to replace the Apple TV with something better. 

Thanks in advance,

Bob

hmmmm... so ghosthouse is happy with USB and cerrot says to keep away from it. 

This hi fi business is confusing.  I realize it's almost entirely subjective so here's the question;

If I'm happy with the sound from my transport to dac would I be happy with usb to dac or should I be looking at another alternative?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

ghosthouse,

Thank you for your reply.  I've been ripping my cds for the past month to an external hard drive attached to my Macbook air using dbpoweramp.

I have a Peachtree Grand Integrated that has onboard DACS and they go out to my beloved Quad 2805s.  It's a very simple system.  I also have a modest Cambridge transport that I use to play cds.

I've streamed a bit wirelessly using the MacBook and an Apple Airplay.  The quality was marginal at best. 

After reading your post I went to Staples and picked up a USB cable.  Even using that cheap ole' cable, the sound was much better.  Better enough that I gave Spotify a go.  Sounds okay.  Not great but okay.  And that's with their premium subscription.

I have a USB input on my amplifier, do you think an audiophile grade USB cable like your Pangea would get me closer to what I hear using cds and my transport? 

Thank you again,

Bob
