On Android, Windows, and Linux I played a song on Spotify, then played a song with Tidal (Cider for Apple Music didn’t do lossless back then). I would pause and play on each and Tidal was just fuller sounding for every song I tested. Modern day Cider sounds better than Tidal now for some reason
First off, Youtube Music only does up to 256kbps AAC, which is similiar in quality to Spotify’s Ogg/Vorbis 320kbps
I just edited the post, I could have sworn it was lossless but you’re right.
Just because people aren’t going endgame extracting everything the human senses can catch from sound waves doesn’t mean they’re dumb or wasting money.
I don’t mean to make anyone sound dumb, truly. I don’t actually care what people use, it doesn’t concern me, however in my experience there is a huge difference between AAC and High Res FLAC and to be honest I thought everyone could tell the difference since it’s night and day for me
This post inspired me to make a post about how bad Spotify is: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/s/boNNNl3QYc
So what I plan on doing is setting up Navidrome on my home server and using InnerTune on Android to use YouTube Music for free
