Tidal - Hi Res

Ask Tidal.

Is this for Tidal to integrate?

I’m just starting a Tidal trial, can came across this. So help me understand, Am i getting no better streaming quality from Tidal than I am from Spotify?

Yes you are. You’re getting Cd quality (better than Spotify) but no hi-res. Which tidal has available but not on Sonos. 

ok thanks!  appreciate the response.

A key thing to keep in mind when looking at hi-res services, can you hear the difference in a CD / Lossless signal and a more expensive one that has more bits to clog up your connections?

Even when my ears still worked I couldn’t, and I’ve never met anyone who could.

Don’t pay a lot of money for snake-oil. If you can’t hear it it doesn’t matter.

In my case, you're 100% right. I'm just looking for something that sounds better than Spotify.

Sonos can only do sample rates of 24/48.  Probably because this is a common sample rate for video.  Think YouTube.

I was on Rhapsody, they renamed Napster and had issues, moved to Amazon, now Amazon unlimited with the Atmos option (look for commercial free to add it) and am very happy

Can't tell any sonic difference in any of the quality settings, just a badge on the screen, Atmos I. An really tell. Ticked at Amazon for making it so hard to find Atmos content, even using the Amazon Music app.
