I do not know any audiophiles who listen to MP3. If you're listening to MP3s, I think we have found the weak link in your system. I love tidal: CD Quality streaming. This should obsolete most music servers.

I've used Spotify Premium for months. I sometimes stream it to my Creek 5350se and Totem Arros via a Gramofon. I think the Gramofon has a decent/fair DAC. Spotify Premium streams at 320kbps. I tried Tidal's premium hifi feature today. I ended up comparing tracks from the two services. Tidal clearly sounds better. CLEARLY. And this is coming from a guy who thinks a solid gauge lamp cord speaker wire is generally fine. I'm going to stay with Tidal and now work on getting it to a DAC (somehow) at the Creek. Digital can sound so good. |
Philip O’Hanlon Playlists from On Higher
Note are highly recommended. These outstanding playlists were created by Philip
from On High Note and are
posted on Tidal via a user created playlist. You can sample the various
songs on this link. Box of Fun is terrific. http://onahighernote.com/blog/category/philips-music-talk/philips-playlist/ From the above link, there is a button that allows you to listen to the playlist on Tidal. Once you are on the Tidal screen, you can immediately log into your Tidal account and make the above playlist a favorite so that it is SAVED to your account. This will enable you to find and play the playlist from your Tidal account. It is not the best solution but it works. |
