So with just regular Tidal, I assume songs only show up as HiFi as the best option available?I cancelled Tidal Premium, I really didn't see it as adding any value.
The reason I keep Tidal is that it's supported in UAPP on Android (Spotify isn't), which has fantastic PEQ/GEW and headphone EQs (inluding limiting) for just a small one time extra purchase. UAPP also support Tidal casting. They say the casting is experimental but it's been flawless for me to my CCAs. Battery consumption is also very low. Finally, I sideload UAPP on my Nvidia Shield's and get the benefit of room EQ for my home theatre, using my NAS or Tidal as sources.
The only thing I was told by someone else is just because you are only able to get HiFi doesn't mean the song might only be available in Master (MQA) and then a sort of "bastardization" conversion happens. I kind of have gotten lost in an MQA rabbit hole.
