Is the music quality on Tidal way better like I’ve heard?

Because it’s close enough in price I’m wondering if YT Music is worth it, as it comes with YT Premium as well.

    I use Tidal exclusively. Because of the higher quality file formats, the music sounds more crisp. The treble is clear, mistones are easier to make out, and bass slaps.

    It depends on the artist. If you’re not an audiophile the effect may be more subtle, but if you listen closely, it just sounds more clear. Like switching from 1080p to a 1440p monitor.

    I’m an artist and I get paid much better from Tidal streams when someone plays my music compared to YT or especially Spotify.

    The player has some really good features that Spotify or YouTube doesn’t have, but also some flaws tho.

    Audio gets compressed when listening via Bluetooth but even so, the overall sound quality is better from my experience than YT music even when using Bluetooth.

    Highly recommend, great value. Effect may seem more subtle, but it makes a difference IMO.
