re better sound? Slight differences in volume can make the louder track "sound better" (as tested in double blind tests). I recall in LMS I can set it to use a constant volume reduction for streams (LMS > Settings > Players > Audio). For example, I use this because my local files have ReplayGain tags and Spotify files do not (and sound a lot louder than my local files in a random mix playblack). Perhaps you have this set up and it works with regular TIDAL via LMS but ickstream does not use the volume reduction? I have no idea if that is the issue, but if true, it would certainly make the ickstream tidal streams sound a bit louder (and thus make us *think* that it sounds better).
