Thanks for the post Carl but I must be missing something when you say Rhapsody & Tidal at same price point. I only pay £6.50 a month for Rhapsody and what hits my ears (which as far as I'm concerned makes the analysis of size/bits etc academic) is as good as Tidal at £19.99 per month. I just wanted others to make such a test before they dive in & commit just because of the hype & size of file.

I will subscribe to whoever streams MQA because I've experienced it & know what will hit my ears is worth the layout not because of the science (although that makes it possible of course) but because of the end product - THE SOUND!
