![]() I also use an iPad mini 6 which uses USB C. I have used that set-up iPhone >Apple Music >CCK>DAC, and for me the volume control on the iPhone locks out. I actually have no idea why there is so big differences, but that's it - Tidal is the absolute winner in sound quality compared to Apple Music. Apple Music for some reason sounds distorted/harshy at high volume, while with Tidal stream I can stand very close to my loud tower speakers and can even raise volume level further - it's still super clear, my ears still not bleeding, but it's VERY loud - louder than the same track from Apple Music.Īlso, Apple Music has some stutters when playing music, while Tidal playing without any interruptions.Īt first I really wanted Apple Music to be the winner for this test since I like Apple's big library with solid amount of tracks with cd+ quality. Well, at high volume Tidal sounded much better. I said before that Tidal with my rig sounded slightly better, but I didn't listened closely, so listened to it for ~2 hours. Flac files from Tidal and ALAC files from Apple Music. Usually both 44.1 khz 16 bit (you can check tracks from Tidal with mconnect app - it shows codec and bitrate of Tidal streams), sometimes 24 bit on Apple Music. Used the same songs from the same albums. Tested closely Tidal and Apple Music at high volumeĪudio chain iPhone ->CCK->Rotel RC-1590 preamp (USB-B input)->Rotel RB-1590 amp->Polk Audio RTi A9 speakers I recently did some testing when I compared Tidal and Apple Music, so I will paste it here too.
