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!

Jay Z Relaunches Tidal with a Parade of Celebrity Artists
Tidal states about 2.5 million songs. Even if you count conservatively, some songs are counted more than once because they appear on multiple albums, say 750,000 unique title/artist combinations.
My own flac file collection is just shy of 1 TB and it is less than 3000 titles.
There is no player out there that can hold anywhere near the files I have in my own personal collection, let alone all of the titles in the Tidal library.
Also, the new Meridian format, MQA, will be available soon on Tidal which give even better then cd quality. Even at $29.99 a month that would be worth it as long as the number and types of titles available in MQA warrant that pay level.
I want to thank Tidal and Jay Z for what they are attempting to do here. Even if all they accomplish is to raise the level of awareness of higher quality audio to the masses, along with My. Young and his PONO/music service, it was worth the exercise.
Your avid supporter
