I agree with Charlie. It looks like I may have to keep both Tidal and Rhapsody so that I retain all of the content (Rhapsody) while getting the much better SQ of Tidal.
I will continue to purchase most of my music on CD for loading onto my MC200 but with the improved SQ of Tidal as compared to Rhapsody the number of purchases will shrink even further. I have used Rhapsody to find new music and to tag albums with only 1 or 2 good tracks for future listening. My definition of marginal albums could grow with Tidal.

I am interested that you couldn't hear any difference in Tidal 44.1 vs 320kbs, Alex. Having not heard MQA as yet, I am impressed that you felt it DID make a difference when you heard it. I have an Explorer at the ready for the MQA experience, but must say I am loving red book whether streamed stored or spun and I enjoy hearing material via Tidal or Qobuz (like their catalogue) that I am keen to hear once but wouldn't wish to buy. I much prefer 44.1 or greater, to 320k or less, and of course vinyl is still fab!
