Tidal streaming issue

[amabrok]

By coincidence I e-mailed TIDAL today about the issue of drop-outs and they replied "We also work on figuring out what is causing the dropouts for some users, we are very sorry about this". So they're aware of the issue and are trying to address it.

On a positive note, I find their support team very helpful and responsive.

A couple of other interesting comments they made: 1) they are working on gapless playback; and 2) about 85% of their catalogue is available in lossless format.

I will remain with Qobuz for now but think the TIDAL service looks very promising and will revisit it next year. If the current issues have been resolved then I may switch.

Thanks PhilP!

in a way it is reassuring to know i am not alone in this.

If i really wanna git rid of my Macbook or any other computer for that matter then i will be technically stuck with Tidal. Recently i have invested in the excellently designed and executed Aurender X100L and they have plans to integrate Tidal but none for Qobuz.

i think i will keep Qobuz for download/purchase and Tidal will be the main streaming service for me!

But Hey Phil, apart from the drop out issue, did you notice any SQ differences?

thanks
