Thanks for this. I'm currently a Spotify subscriber but just discovered Tidal which has better sound quality supposedly.

  did you do AB testing on music quality? I think if you set the HQ toggle in spotify it's really alright. I was able to differentiate 320 mp3 to wav, but only for one song (gorillaz - clint eastwood) and I couldn't say one sounded better than the other.

    Funny that you should mention that song. That's of the ones I'm using to test! Another is "Angel" by Massive Attack. I think both are decent for testing lower frequencies. I have the premium version of Spotify and have streaming quality set to the highest setting, "Very High" and I definitely notice a difference. Not sure what you mean by HQ toggle. So far, I've compared to Qobuz and Tidal in terms of quality. Spotify beats them both in terms of interface and discovering new music.

      that's exactly what I meant - "very high". I was also really surprised it's the lows, not the highs where I can hear it (maybe I'm just getting old...). Just a bit more punchy and clean :)
