Actually, I agree.... To my ears, Tidal does sound better than Spotify when set on the HiFi setting (lossless). Is that lossless vs Spotify's 320 mp3 streaming? I don't know. I have compared hires mp3 to lossless before and didn't hear as much difference as I do between Spotify and Tidal. I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be true because I like Spotify. FWIW, I am listening with very good headphones and DAC (Senn HD600s and a iFi Micro iDSD DAC/amp). If I was listening with earbuds out of my iphone jack, I doubt I'd hear any difference.
Be that as it may, so far I'm quite impressed with Tidal. Of course, I'm still in the trial period and haven't yet decided to subscribe at $20/month. Jury is still out but it is compelling. I am hoping that we get a peak at ickStream before the Tidal trial runs out. Without being able to stream Tidal through my Squeezeboxen, it has far less appeal.
