I checked earlier today... and it is indeed Feb 6th. Still in early 2015 afaik.  New technology. Game changer. 1,000,001 ducks to get in a row most of which will be in the hands of lawyers and not the folks at HQ.
Rgds,
Nick

By Apple's definition, 'early' could mean anything from January through April � hence the 'early 2015' Apple Watch coming in april.
The waiting game could go on for a few more weeks...

A question to current Tidal users. Is it at least as good as a CD rip or do you experience differences (+ or -)?

I find it beter than Rhapsody & Spotify and that over an Apple TV. First impression is that it doesn't beat flacs, but that mught be more to do with the chain than the source.
However, I really like the Spotify connect feature, which Tidal lacks.

Over Sonos Tidal sounds VERY close to my own CD's ripped... so close I can't make the judgement call reliably as to whether there's a qualitative difference. Until I hear Tidal over Sooloos I won't be able to judge that integration, but I'm very hopeful it will be even better, as the ripped CDs certainly are..

Is your collection deteriorating with age, or just your ears, a frightening thought whichever is the case. Hector

Agreed this was posted some time ago and it's what led me to question whether a C15 was a requirement of tidal integration.

Oops! Sorry didn't see it before.
The plot thickens though as the news item from Martins HiFi has disappeared
