    Does Qobuz sounds better?

    Hello, the last 2 months I've been trying different gear and audio setups, to find out which one is better for me and I find it more enjoyable. The first thing I bought was Sennheiser HD599 SE.

    Different masters: hi res streaming services.

    Tidal Masters not availabe in all countries

Later I searched it on my Tidal app and it was only available in CD quality. It's not a huge deal for...

    TIDAL: No EQ is a major oversight

    Regarding TIDAL for iOS & macOS: First of all, I love the song selection and you simply can’t beat the sample rate (bravo there!), but how does an industry-leading hifi service like Tidal not include EQ natively? Someone hasn't done their homework regarding what audio enthusiasts really want...

    Tidal - I cant control the same account from my iPad and iPhone

    Swapped from Spotify to Tidal this weekend - three month deal for a £1. Sounds better no question. However, unlike Spotify my tidal doesn't seem to allow me to control the music using different devices. It doesn't find my iPad, iMac and iPhone on the same account like Spotify does automatically...

    Fiio X7 - Tidal Offline - £300 Budget

    I have been the happy owner of a Fiio X7 for a while now AM2 module, sounds (IMO) fantastic but as is well documented the UI is clunky and the battery life is getting a little restrictive! I have not had the good fortune of listening to an array of other DAP's and am interested to take...

    New Headphones V Premium Stream Quality

    I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN headphones and a Spotify Premium account, but I'm looking to get a better sound quality. Should I spend my hard earned money on new headphones or upgrading to Deezer HiFi/Tidal. Is it worth upgrading to FLAC/Lossless when my headphones are sub £100...

    Best way to stream Tidal to my HiFi

    I've recently invested in some Arcam kit (SA20 Amp and CDS50 CD player with streaming capabilities) and have wanted to stream Tidal (HiFi/FLAC) to it. Although Arcam have their own Music Life App which lets you do this natively from within the app, the experience is poor (app is a bit flaky...
