I have got to admit I canned Spotify subs years ago - but how are they managing to grow their subscriber base whn it is now going to be £11.99 in the UK? That is way, way too high for what it offers...

For those using spofity connect: tidal has "tidal connect" as well, which is identical and exactly as supported. ~~Qobuz unfortunately lacks this feature, to my knowledge.~~ Correction: Qobuz has released "Qobuz connect"! I don't know how widely supported it is vs. Tidal connect, though; iFi and Cambridge audio most notably seem to be missing, according to this list.

I personally also prefer the tidal algo to Spotify and qobuz, but that is a matter of preference.

It's quite easy to download Tidal content on any device w/o the app as well—for educational purposes, of course.

For some, Tidal may be a better alternative. I've been quite happy with it. Others may prefer Qobuz.

Qobuz released Qobuz connect back in May
