I really don't think this is good news. Apple won't run two services side by side so Tidal will be folded in. I am not convinced Apple really cares about HiRes music unless there is big demand from the public and we know that most people don't care. Let's face it, even among Tidal users I bet audiophiles who pay the higher price for CD quality are the minority of user accounts. Too bad because I am really enjoying the Roon/Tidal integration as well as the Tidal apps and service.
I am glad that I still purchased and ripped a large library of my own CDs into Roon as a baseline to my collection but I really do like having the Tidal integration for discovering new music. I hope it continues to live.
Really hoping to be wrong.
