OK i get the arguments. I've heard the to and for and my opinion is that regardless of the fact it's not loseless, on a decent system some A/B comparison with FLAC or the CD I can hear more detail and a wider more spatial sound. Especially on older albums that ironically were well produced to start with. I will give Rumours and Sgt Peppers as examples. My opinion so keep your flaming to yourselves please.
The reason I'm out, apart from Tidal Connect and Bluos being disastrous to play with, is that yes some songs or albums are indeed worse and once again a decent system will reveal these flaws in the same way it will bring out the best in others.
The worst (or best) example of this is on Generation Terrorists by The Manics, particularly on the song Born to End. The amount of distortion added to this song on the special edition master is unforgiveable when compared to the FLAC from the original album. Give it a listen, especially the end of the track, you will hear exactly what I mean.
