I don't mind I like archiving music

Edit: I don't use it for streaming mainly

Dam this worked. Tidal lackin

Hifi sounds so good on my sonos speakers

after you get the trial head on over to the audiophile thread here

Good lookin OP

Is all tidal flac.???

all of tidal hifi is 16bit flac. the songs that have the "master" tag is essentially 24bit, but it is using MQA rather than flac.

Not every song. Most artists turn in the high quality files (like masters or FLAC) but you can upload to TIDAL at 128 kbps if you really wanted

It's certainly possible to have fake flac on tidal, but at least from all the tests I've done on songs I'm yet to come across a fake. But I'm sure they do exist

stream machs hard lemonade on tidal now

are there even any Tidal exclusives anymore?

At this point it's mostly just exclusive videos. But their video catalog is definitely worth checking out.

Also a big plus is that their music videos are all higher bit rate than what you'd see on YouTube

I don't pay full price for spotify either

They had the kanye opera livestreams on there like last december

A lot of Duwap Kaine's new stuff isn't actual FLAC for some reason he doesn't upload high quality files

I thought the code would be unique or something. It's really the same one for everyone Hope this actually lasts till the end of December since i have Spotify currently

LMAOOOO

Any exclusives that are actually good?

Isn’t Tidal known to bass boost their songs though

Their music sounded bassier through my headphones, at least compared with Spotify

I've wondered about that but I'm not sure. I've never once noticed that with their regular 16bit hifi tracks, but I have noticed their MQA Master tracks to be mastered a bit louder than legit 24bit flac. I don't think they sound bad, but if you're like me and you prefer tracks to not be as loud then they might not be the best option out there.

For me I'll continue sticking with Spotify, but it could be with the FLAC, who knows. Either way if you enjoy it then more power to you, personally Spotify is good enough

Spotify is definitely good enough. A lot of people forget that lossless audio is damn near worthless without very high end headphones/speakers along with a good dac/amp.
