Moving to Tidal

I listen to jazz on Tidal constantly and find the catalog very good if not as deep as Spotify. For sound quality it's no contest I was sick of Spotify's sound before I even knew Tidal existed, Pandora Premium sounded noticeably better to me back in those days.

jond, I'm curious. What does Spotify sound like on your system.
On mine I hear an openness with macro and micro detail in a well populated soundstage. Tidal has all of that and more. Do you just listen to music on your main system all the time? I listen in the car, on my HT system and off my phone. The sound quality of these sources can't come close to my main system, but I still enjoy it. With me, It's all about the music.

In non-audiophile terms, the sound on Spotify is "smeared." There is a lack of distinction between notes. The other term I use is 'confused."  Again lacking in clarity. With relatively simple music it is not so bad, but when listening to complex music with multiple instruments and crescendos it becomes more obvious.
In another old fashioned and non-audiophile term, I get listener fatigue. Nothing specific, just end up turning it off.

Make sure you take full advantage of the dual MQA unfolding, so you can reap up to 350kHz/24bit/1500kbps streams.

I converted to Tidal HiFi two weeks ago, what a difference:

1. PC with Bluesound Node 2i MQA analog to HD-DAC1.
3. Android phone UAPP and xDSD MQA, yes I get the above rates on my old Android phone.

I know that many look down on the lossy MQA but as an owner of 800+ DSD/MLP discs and a reference separates system in the batcave I can attest to the improvements, now just like with SACDs you can tell the 
quality of the mastering process.

Just a tip, when you go looking for MQAs look for "Tidal Masters New Releases" playlist, then you can click on the separate tracks, their albums are usually entirely MQA.
