I am not new to electronics. I've been interested since I was 10 years old. I've never worked professionally in electronics but I know more than the average person. I've built a number of Heathkits (am I showing my age?) and have been hacking arduinos since they first appeared. Before the arduino I did not have any real exposure to MCUs. I thought that it was time that I shared my learning with the community at large.

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.
