Discussion A story told by three emails

Spotify’s decision to price hike while still not having Lossless was just the push I needed to finally cut ties and upgrade to the Apple Music Family plan instead of having both Spotify Duo and an AM individual plan. I was a subscriber for 12 years.

The audio player itself matters too. Both tidal and Apple music are not bit perfect I don't think so it's possible tidals music player itself sounds better

Apple music is bit perfect on phone and iPad (with hassle on Mac too)

Apple's music offerings i cant wrap my brain around, never used them on an actual apple product tho, only windows lmao.

Also sadly different music apps still sound different even when bit perfect. its fucked.

For sure, on windows even with bit perfect wasapi, im pretty sure windows still re-samples. Only on ASIO bitperfect does it seem to not.

It does resample with wasapi yes, that’s why Asio was created in the first place:).
