Ok, thank you for my scolding. If you read my posts, you will see that I question MQA in car application. As for what sounds better to me, over my system, at home, I trust my ears and like what I like. And there is also the interface issue and what looks better. At home, on my phone or iPad, and I guess I will find out in my car. I liked what I have seen of the Tidal implementation as compared to Spotify, which I did experience directly during my test drive. Qobuz vs. Tidal at home is nearly a push (though to my ears, I like the Tidal sound a little better. Are the bit rates and/or actual information different? I don’t know. I go with my ears, what I like, and what is pleasant for me to use in the environment I am in. At home, I like the Tidal app and catalog better, so I have stuck with Tidal. Enjoying music to me is more than bit rates. Visual things, how things are organized, how the algorithms work, etc. I like Spotify better for certain things, and use it some of the time. Shared playlists, casual stuff, I tend to like their algorithm better for music suggestions. But for sitting down and listening, I tend to prefer Tidal, sometimes using Roon for all the other info, etc.
And of course, as I see more replies come in since I posted, FLAC/ALAC/CD quality is enough for a car, IMO. Even without motor noise. But likely to enjoy having access to my Tidal account in my car, anyway. Along with Spotify. Thinking I will quit Qobuz as redundant. Not sure what I am going to do with apple music yet. I have a bunch of old purchased iTunes stuff on hard drives from iPod days I rarely access anymore, as i just use Tidal or Spotify most of the time. Or play a CD or record if I want to have a physical media experience. (Again, enjoying music is beyond bit rates, etc. Sometimes physical media makes it more fun. But I am not a 10k turntable/stylus guy). So again, interested in a Tidal implementation in my car, and how it works, how it looks, etc., as I tend to use it and save and collect music there anyway. So that part is relevant.
But again thanks, I do I appreciate being educated by your superior attitude and snark.
