Finally "HiFi" streaming - comments on Tidal???


Tidalhifi has entered the streaming market with what it is calling "lossless" playback. I believe it is certainly the highest quality streaming service. I just got it ($20/mo) and it clearly out-performs Beats and Pandora on my systems. It is way cool to look up songs that I love but not enough to buy the CD to get a lossless recording. It's not cheap for sure but it sure is nice.

My next step is to try to get Amarra sQ to work with it. Anyone able to do that?

I would too. Why miss out on something you want over such a minor issue? Remember, its a new venture and they may not have the resources to expand just yet. Personally, I really don't like Chrome, but if they had to choose 1 web browser for their service initially, its probably the best choice.
As suggested, I installed Chrome on my Mac and then installed Tidal. I cannot believe it. The sound quality is very good. I am still experimenting with different artists, etc. Based on results so far, it is easily worth $20 per month. Yes, it is a little slow to load the music but this is no problem. Thanks again for your suggestions.
And you can always just have the Chrome window open for Tidal alone and do the rest of your Internet browsing on another browser. Also, why not just download the app for Mac?
I have three more comments on Tidal:

1) Another useful Tidal feature is that you select, for example, a Hilary Hahn CD, that you like and make it your favorite. Once done, you select that CD and page down lower on the screen. Addition Hilary Hahn CD's will be displayed that you can easily select for listening. This is a very useful feature for reviewing many CD’s from your favorite artists.

2) However, when I make an album a "favorite", sometimes it goes into the "artist category" and sometimes in the "album category". I would prefer that any album I make a favorite always goes into one of these categories and not the other. Currently I have some favorite albums in artist category and others in the album category. In summary, I prefer that any album I make a favorite, always goes into the album category so that all my albums are grouped together. Tidal reports that "they are reworking how favorites should work and this feature is about to change for the better, so you can arrange these the way you like by adding tags”.

3) Tidal Customer Support is excellent. I have emailed them 3 times and have received a response in 2-3 days.

I am using Chrome for Tidal and it works perfectly. Tidal is an excellent source for music streaming at CD quality to your audio system.
