Moving to Tidal

+1 Coach,
Though many berate Spotify's non high rez output, I really don't find it all that bad. Yes, Tidal does sound better, even non-MQA, but if you can't listen to what you want, what does it matter?

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.
