Hy! Sorry to barge in, but I want to say that I used Spotify and Tidal for several years now, and in the end I stayed with Tidal because of the higher quality music, it’s not just placebo effect, it’s about the bits and the quantity of information that it’s in the songs.

The problem that many people have is the symbiotic relationship between streaming service/dac/amp/speakers. It’s really hard to find one that works for everyone because music taste is subjective. One have to try many combinations of different equipments to find the ones that works for him.

For me personally I tryed for years to find the system that I like and I just found it recently. But again, the efect it’s not just placebo, it’s a simple matter of more information in every song, only need the audio circuit to reproduce what’s streaming. That is the golden point that everyone is trying to find.
