I agree listen to what sounds best to you.
But maybe you need better speakers... and ears!

That's fine, Justin. I'm happy to report on different experiences to you, mostly listening to quite different music.
If I have the choice to use A or B, and I prefer B ---- guess which one I will use.
I am not without experience is listening to hifi gear, and imho my system with Spotify sounds very special and provides me with a huge amount of enjoyment.
I agree that it is possible that my DAC (and the rest of my system) is a good synergistic match with Spotify but not Tidal. That's fine - it's the sound of the music that comes out that matters. No components are perfect, and the synergy of the system is all important.

Spotify uses digital watermarking on their songs. It is audible unfortunately, characterised by a pulsing or fluttering, clicking, distortion. Once you start to hear it, it just gets more annoying.

Are you suggesting there ever really was any?.................
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

Yes, I hear that sometimes between tracks - but never with music playing.
Maybe it dithers the compressed music and makes it sound as good as new.

Maybe you should take your hearing protectors out.
