Tidal Music


Hi Audiogoners,
Is there any advantage to subscribe to Tidal Hifi if we don't have the MQA decoder in our DAC?

Thanks,
Calvin

Do a free trial of Qobuz if it’s available where you are.  I switched from Tidal to Qobuz a couple years ago and will never go back.  MQA is the answer to a problem nobody had and nobody asked for.  It’s an algorithm built to modify the original signal to what IT thinks it should be — original artist’s intent be damned.  No thanks.  Plus, there’s more hi-res material on Qobuz that requires no special features or silly unfolding — what a joke IMHO.  I’ve seen lots of people here switch from Tidal to Qobuz along with me who are much happier both with the sound quality and user interface.  People switching from Qobuz to Tidal, not so much and can’t even remember anyone saying they did that.  To me, that says it all.

@cagma7 Why is Qobuz still not available in Our Home and Native Land? Seems very strange and unfair to our knobs from the North.
