Just a quick update whilst we wait for TIDAL integration on the 23rd.

It would appear the on/off saga of whether J Zed will purchase TIDAL or not now seems to be resolved in the affirmative. What HiFi News#1. One hopes this can only be good news?

Also on What HiFi their version of the article posted above What HiFi News #2. Note the odd comment at the bottom of the page

I think the idea was a basic set up of a mobile phone and say, bluetooth headphones, will be the kind of configuration that won't get the full hi-res.

Could there be any truth to this ?
I think we've all tried a direct comparison of Spotify and or Rhapsody with TIDAL, personally I used my phone (an HTC One M8) for this and found TIDAL to be much much better quality than both the others. Is Happy HiFi a Spotify employee I wonder?
