TIDAL on SALE!

@reubent 

Welcome to the world of unlimited music! There are plenty of threads here on devices to consider....for starters you can’t go wrong with Bluesound Node 2i. 

They appear to be hurting for business. Over the holidays they ran $5 promo for five months. I dumped them a year ago....Qobuz is currently the best streaming service in US for a bargain price of $149.99 / 12 months.

Vault 2i is great if you want to rip your CD’s. I also own Vault 2 which is strictly used for ripping CD’s and backup to my Aurender N10. Spotify is great as far as user interface and content. Only quirk, low resolution streaming. I don’t think Tidal or Qobuz can match the content of Spotify but they do offer better streaming quality. I doubt you would hear day n night difference with Vault 2i. Now if you plug Vault into a decent external DAC, that maybe worthwhile keeping Tidal or Qobuz. That’s what trial is for, listen n compare and decide for yourself what’s more important, content or sound quality. 

Another side of Tidal, sorry to crash the party :-)

Why I’m not on Tidal,
