Hello, everybody, I’ve been thinking to move on from my Spotify subscription to move to Tidal or Deezer. I want to try out HIFI audio, but still get a good and stable experience. Are there any suggestions for which one I should pick? Could you also tell about your experience with those apps, or are there any other you would recommend more?
As far as I’ve experienced you need really good quality headphones in order to enjoy Tidal. Mine is on the high end of mid tier and I couldn’t tell the difference in quality when I asked my wife to test me. I use Youtube Music because it’s pretty much the same as Spotify plus no ads on regular Youtube.
I got a pair of mid-range Sennheisers and the difference in quality is noticeable. Could never go back to tin can sound.
That’s what we call the placebo effect.
Try telling 256kbps AAC and lossless apart when you don’t know which is which beforehand:
