    Whats the best in terms of audio quality? I read a lot of sites and the most said Qobuz or Tidal. But Apple Music seem to have Hi res sound but a lil less good then the other two?

    What yall recommend?

    With bluetooth headphones, Hi-Res doesn't matter, you won't be able to tell a difference. With nice wired headphones, you may be able to tell a difference. That being said, Apple Music Lossless is fantastic. Tidal's MQA is snake oil, even though I'm sure their hi-res plan sounds good. I've heard good things about Qobuz but its one of the only ones I've never personally tried. The only ones I won't touch are Youtube and Spotify You should be good with any of the other options, but I'd honestly just go with Apple Music and turn lossless on

    apple is cd quality at best for the most part iirc, some stuff i saw w regular lossless have higher res music on the other platforms, even though they have hi res lossless too. the ecosystem is just super strong already

    basically what im saying: apple’s lossless library is smaller than the others, so i account to it not being as good

    I listen to a pretty wide variety of music and I’ve rarely if ever come across a song or album that wasn’t available in lossless. Maybe I’m just lucky tho.

    So tidal would be slightly better because it has a bigger hi res catalog?

    thing is you gotta pay extra for the max quality where it included w the basic qobuz plan which is 9 dollars less so i wouldn’t rly say its better unless you got the money for it

    one example is rumors by fleetwood mac, its lossless on apple but not hi res lossless, qobuz has hi res files on their platform

    yea definitely trial them out before sticking with em. if you do trial tidal again you can add an extra month for 2 dollars i believe

    Do an A B test. You probably won't pass it.
