Tidal

Tidal is a subscription-based streaming service launched in 2014 by Aspiro AB. In just a couple of years it transformed into one of the best streaming music services. At the moment, its main competitor is Spotify. While Spotify offer a wider variety of audio content and free subscription, Tidal focused on audio quality (HiFi option) and exclusive content. Music streaming with Tidal sounded fuller, with warmer tones that give bass a nice little oomph. No doubt, it's really better than sound with CD quality. In comparison, songs streamed on Spotify have crisper highs that sound harsher at loud volumes.

For us, in the first place, Tidal is a source of high definition music. But here we are faced with problem - MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio is available only in the desktop application. Mobile application with offline mode supports only AAC 320kbps. If you've the kit and ears to enjoy FLAC streaming, you're probably not going to want to settle for anything less. A year ago I used the application for downloading music via Tidal API, but Tidal seems to have fixed this hack, so you can't download FLACs on a normal subscription. Therefore, now you can get music in high quality only by recording.
