New Tidal user here. I got a 3 month free trial via Sonos.
I am on a limited bandwidth connection. ADSL2 @ 8 Mbps. Reliably closer to 6 Mbps.
I am getting skip free and otherwise flawless streaming on hifi sources.
On MQA titles, I am getting dropouts. This is a puzzler since I thought the data rate was the same for either.
I am using the desktop tidal app running win 10 on an MSFT SurfacePro 3. Also using a wired PC in my office.
That seems better than the surface pro 3 but I'll need to verify that over time.
Any thoughts?
Tom
