As is said often, let your ears decide. I think tidal gives 1 month trials. If you decide you like it, take my advice and don't favorite everything you like, build playlists or just favorite the artist and not each individual album. I have found so much amazing music that I'd never have found otherwise and began "favoriting" it all. Tidal runs a lot slower this way, I've not noticed any loss in sound quality but the desk top version is a pain to scroll through. I've noticed no such issues w/ my iPhone though so it may just be my old laptop.
Nuprime vs preamp rebuild.
Had previously queried community re value of upgrading dac. In brief I have an AR SP-3 preamp, Prima Luna HP amp, Magnepan 1.7 speakers. The dac is from HRT and is (I believe) their original model. Good quality interconnects and power cord. Up to this point, have been using Spotify Premium as streaming source. One respondent recommended getting the SP-3 up to speed. Last service is long ago, though usage has been light. The price of a rebuild done by AR is about 3K, all costs considered. Another respondent advised purchasing a Nuprime 10 which would cover both the preamp and dac issues. Would very much appreciate any thoughts re these options. Thanks
