I wonder if anybody has the same experience. 
I have a Tidal subscription with the impression the delivered quality is
lossless FLAC: same bitstream as recorded on the CD. 

Because I had some doubts I did some A/B comparision:

- Logitech squeezebox touch digitally connected to Marantz receiver.
- Philips blueray player digitally connected to Marantz receiver.

CD "Step into my dreams - Susan Wong"  encoded with FLAC and locally
available to Squeezebox
Same Cd is avialable on Tidal

Comparing local FLAC rip of the CD and the CD played on the blueray
player gives no audible difference. 

Playing the same CD via Tidal gives a clear difference. It sounds dull
and even the level differs.  

What is wrong here ?

- Bug or data manipulation in Ickstream ?
- Something in the Squeezebox firmware ?
- Tidal is cheating ( would not be a good start !)  ?
