Apple Music is the most buggy and annoying software I use

Is old music killing new music?
> a Tidal subscription (which has masters at supposedly higher quality than CDs)Alas, this is BS.

⬐ vzidexIt might very well be the DAC doing the work then, or maybe the placebo effect is just making me pay more attention to music I first heard years ago and I'm picking up more :)Thanks for the information though, I'll do some A/B testing to see if it makes any difference to me.
⬐ dehrmannPlacebo effect disproves Nyquist–Shannon Theorem.⬐ redismanJust the Hifi level is probably enough for almost any system. I also noticed a huge difference coming from YouTube and Spotify on the Hifi setting in Tidal. I didn’t bother with Master as my ears aren’t that magical

Apple Music Announces Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio
It's not like Tidal is good either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc
⬐ turtlebitsTidal offers FLAC. I don't completely understand the associated formats via their quality settings, but definitely have downloaded FLAC when caching content to a device.⬐ SSLyAlright, yes, it uses the container, but files that are scrambled with MQA are worse quality than CD-rips. Even if no MQA decoding is involved.

Apple Music Announces Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio
Just to add to this comment, the video breakdowns I've watched on MQA are interesting listens even as someone who doesn't use Tidal.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRjsu9-Vznc -- Critque of MQA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwZ5hDzQ5Jg -- in defense of MQA
At the end of the day, people should listen to what they think sounds good (is this an opinion?). If a placebo makes someone enjoy something more, is it really a placebo? If someone can't tell the difference between low quality recordings and high quality recordings, why should they go through the trouble of sourcing the high quality stuff.
It's so easy to lose track of the subjective nature of audio in all of the objective details.
⬐ formerly_provenThat's not really the point here - if someone says "I like how this sounds with (MQA artifacts | tube distortions | +20 dB bass)", that's perfectly fine and not something many if any people would argue with.⬐ ivraatiemsThat's fine, but it's not fine to claim MQA is lossless or represents the original lossless file.

⬐ PhilKunzyeah... either its lossless or its not.
