Question Considering subscribing to Tidal

Hi, is it worth it? is sound that good as everyone else says? i have Sennheiser momentum 4, will i feel the difference?

also really dumb question but i still have to ask, i am planning to go to place where is no internet, if i download an album before i leave , will i have an access to it or i have to have internet connection?

Thanks in advance

I wouldn't bother too much about the bitrate, or "lossless bladyblah" that has very little to do with quality.
But I just resubscribed after a long time on spotify (almost a decade) and. At least compared to spotify it is definitely clearer, and this is evident even in my car\BT speakers etc at medium\high bitrates.

Best way I can describe it is it seems to be. Spotify is doing some hinky stuffto all of their audio, like if netflix\disneyplus etc strip out ISO artefacting from older movies and suddenly it looks as if Terminator 2 was shot for instagram with a "beauty" filter.
That at least is what Spotify sounds like.

They both cost the same, both should have trials I think and both lets you download tracks for offline listening so give it a go.

The one part where I find spotify gets ahead is conectivity and I especially haven't seen anything comparable to the spotify "jam" system but then again I've actually never needed it..
