TIDAL Desktop Application or Chrome Browser?


Hello,

Looking for opinions regarding the desktop application or Chrome browser as to which one you believe has higher SQ, or if you find them to be the same?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure why I percieve a difference but I do, it seems to "my" ears using Chrome seems slightly better to me than TIDAL's desktop app, even though the desktop app displays "HIFI" during playback. Technically, I'm not sure why there would be a difference??
Hi,
Been surfing the web regarding TIDAL and have found many threads indicating TIDAL is in dire financial straits (loosing 28M in the past year) as well as not paying some substantial depts. I really hope TIDAL can hang in there!

On another topic concerning TIDAL playback, I have found (after some PC tweaking) that the desktop App sounds best to me. Through sound configuration settings on my Windows PC, and in the TIDAL app, I was able to configure my system where TIDAL has exclusive use of the S/PDIF output of my audiocard. It took a great deal with A/B to find the best settings, but I think I have managed to get out of my PC and audiocard the best they can do without Windows messing with anything. Granted, this excercise yielded only a small improvement, but I'll take it!
