Need some help deciding

[Yanto]

It is not about the sound. It is about the fact they pranked for too long too much customers. I know a bunch of friends spending fortunes for MQA enabled gear. Tidal had their chance, they did not take. And my very personal opinion is that their app and their algorithms are not mine.

Hmm. I guess some jump too quickly on every bandwagon in order to have the latest craze.
But it’s wrong when a company makes false claims too in order to get business.
I’m using their service now because after comparing it with Qobuz for a month, I hear no difference, and as it’s less than half the price of Qobuz it’s an easy choice.
Personally if Spotify ever gets to Redbook CD quality I’m going back there as they easily have the best library and user interface.

Some might say the same about current marketing for hi res audio...

Or, maybe they think they are climbing the stairway to heaven?

Where are you that Tidal (Hi-Fi tier, I assume) is half the cost of Qobuz (Studio)? In my country, for an individual subscription, Qobuz is slightly less expensive than Tidal on an annual basis.

I’m in Thailand. Here Tidal is the equivalent of £5.86 per month. Qobuz is £12.99

Correct. I prefer Qobuz but Tidal hifi for 6,80 euro in Thailand is a no brainer.

I did a month of Qobuz recently and compared it with Tidal. Now that Tidal is changing over to FLAC, I hear no difference between it and Qobuz. So as you say at £5.86 per month Tidal was an easy choice.
There are definitely gaps in the library of both services though which can be annoying at times.

Yes. Exactly the same service and music quality at less than half the price that I would be paying if still in the Uk for example!

Tidal Hifi Plus*

Yes that’s what I have too.

After trying various streaming services, I made a decision. I went for TIDAL and removed the other apps and subscriptions. After a while I upgraded to hifi plus. I am very satisfied with this solution.
