Revelation Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Well I am enjoying Tidal a lot. Thinking about leaving Spotify. Why should I pay for 2 streaming services? Link to comment
HC515 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 With only 39 days left in the year Spotify Hifi is just a pipe dream. Link to comment
Savolax Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Maybe we should hint Adele to request Hifi-subsciption from Spotify 😁 The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment

HC515 Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 If Spotify was wondering if they could make money with Hifi, Tidal just answered that for them with their new $9.99 Hifi tier. Spotify needs to give it away for free with Premium or don't do it at all. Link to comment
HC515 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Now only 22 days left in the year and still no Spotify Hifi. Link to comment
One and a half Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Time to classify Spotify hifi as vapourware. AS Profile Equipment List Say NO to MQA Link to comment
Revelation Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I just use Tidal and keep Spotify in my side pocket just in case there is a song or two that Tidal does not have. Link to comment

Two problems with that: 1.Tidal has ruined so many files with mqa crap. 2. Spotify currently sounds crap. PavelDosko 1 Link to comment

So just buy CD's and albums. And if you don't like them either...sell your stereo and stop torturing yourself. Lol Spotify sounds decent to me and just a little under CD quality. All these streaming services like Apple and Tidal add spatial enhancements to the music which sometimes sounds great and other times artificial. Link to comment

Can't believe we're in mid-October and they still haven't released it. I gave up my Deezer Hifi back in April when I got a 2-month retry offer from Tidal. Then I used another 3-month free trial with Deezer creating a different account. I was sure by the end of those two free trials Spotify Hifi would be out but I was wrong. Now I don't have any Hifi streaming music service and wondering what to do next. I'd go with Amazon HD since it's the cheapest but I've moved to a RPi streamer and Amazon HD is not compatible with any RPi devices. Just buy Deezer or Qobuz by the month. Or buy a year and if Spotify comes out, wait a few months to join. You are talking about small differences in total outlay here among the various options. Main listening (small home office): Main setup: Surge protector +>Isol-8 Mini sub Axis Power Strip/Isolation>QuietPC Low Noise Server>Roon (Audiolense DRC)>Stack Audio Link II>Kii Control>Kii Three (on their own electric circuit) >GIK Room Treatments. Secondary Path: Server with Audiolense RC>RPi4 or analog>Cayin iDAC6 MKII (tube mode) (XLR)>Kii Three . Bedroom: SBTouch to Cambridge Soundworks Desktop Setup. Living Room/Kitchen: Ropieee (RPi3b+ with touchscreen) + Schiit Modi3E to a pair of Morel Hogtalare. All absolute statements about audio are false Link to comment

loop7 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 If it's still in development, why did they launch a marketing campaign nearly a year ago? What went south internally? Link to comment

Most likely the announcement and quickly subsequent implementation of Apple Music’s HiFi included in the normal price as well as Amazon Music also including their HiFi and lowering the price to match. Spotify also had years prior when they could of done it especially since it has been requested from their customers for so long and was/now is their most requested feature and highly commented on.

I dropped Amazon HD because it will not stream via UPnP. I could only listen via Chromecast Audio, which is limited quality compared to my exaSound and SOtM network players. I believe I would have the same issue with Deezer.
