Qobuz has decent customer service and I'm in a group on Facebook that is run by Qobuz's David Solomon. Usually if you send him a PM or a message through the group, it's responded to very quickly.
Who or what are their CORE?
Their core is stereo, high rez PCM masters.
Link to group?
A few reasons unfortunately - some of which are not the fault of Tidal... But the (very) lossy streaming is a big own goal for me and probably the biggest negative...
Coincidentally, Best Buy just sent me a breathless announcement about a new generation of Fire products, so maybe the "old" 4Ks will now come down in price.
Sure! Here you go: Facebook Groups
I also have stopped my subscription Will...My Tidal subscription deal comes to an end in a couple of days... I only joined for Atmos. I don't think I'll carry on with it though.
I will also update in the streaming v blu ray Atmos thread...
I still hanging in there.Just renewed for another month.The Kraftwerk catalog alone makes it worth it for me so far,along with some other nice ones.The sound quality does not bother me.I can hear on the new Boka Shade,that the BD has better fidelity,but not by much.The biggest problem to me is the low volume.It has scared the shit out of me several times when Tidal decide to play a non Atmos track that I not even have in my playlists.I also have stopped my subscription Will...
For all the reasons you have stated and the fact their promise of all these new Atmos tracks, albums have yet to materialise.
I also found I was not using the Tidal service enough to justify the monthly cost.
I still revert back to my tried and tested Amazon music playlist (which is free!!)
The concept is brilliant but they sure need to tweak, customer service, lossy streaming and general accessibility.
But this is only a pause until I see how streaming of Atmos develops.
Still a huge fan of of Atmos....if done right, it gives me the ultimate listening pleasure.
