    Tidal HiFi + tidal-tdl is the best combo

    Yes I have to pay $20, but I basically get like hundreds of dollars of music downloaded at their highest possible fidelity for free. Slap that shit on my DAP.

    Literally better than soulseek because you can get obscure music in 48khz/24 bit that doesn’t even exist as an mp3 on that platform.

        AAAAAAAAGH, you sent me down a rabbithole again! To be fair, a lot of the music I listen to probably only exists in CD quality at best, but if I’m going to pay money I want the option of having the best there is. Thanks for letting me know about this!

          Well you won’t find anything better than CD quality on any streaming service since it’s pretty large. A single FLAC can be a few hundred MBs large and you won’t really be able to tell the difference. Also it’s extremely rare

          There still are some services where you can buy lossless music in higher quality, but Tidal isn’t one of them

            Do you think I should switch then? Is deezer just a better deal overall? I never bought into the MQA hype so I’m solely asking on an audio quality basis.
