From Heathkit vacuum tubes to first-gen Arduino LEDs, electronics has been my lifelong passion. Though not my profession, I've journeyed from analog circuits to microcontrollers, hacking Arduinos since they appeared. This blog shares that journey—the successes and struggles. If you're a fellow hobbyist, a curious beginner, or just love to tinker, you're in the right place. Welcome!

Tidal HIFI is now sounding great in Canada
If you have the data plan to handle it, http://tidelhifi.com has streaming FLAC files at 1411 kbps - Lossless which is the equivalent to an audio CD at 16 bit/44.1 khz. They do provide three levels of streaming however. Standard Quality, High Quality and HIFI. These stream as follows
Standard quality:
96 kbps (AAC +)
High quality:
320 kbps (AAC)
HiFi:
Flac 1411 kbps - Lossless
(16/44.1 khz)
I listen to standard quality when I am out and about on my cell phone. When I am in WIFI either on the phone or one of my other computers I listen using HIFI.
The cost is $19.99/month CAD which is about double everyone else on the streaming game. For me it is worth the expense. You will have to decide that for yourself. There is a free 7 day trial.
