Not all hi-res streaming services are the same, especially on a Sonos speaker.
Table of Contents If you’re a Sonos owner, I know that right now you’re probably less interested in talking about streaming services, and a lot more concerned about when the company will ever finish fixing its “new” mobile app. I wish I had something positive to share on that front, but alas, like you, I’m also waiting for the day when I can once again reliably adjust the volume on my speakers.
Will Tidal’s extra 10 million tracks make a difference to you? It’s hard to say. None of the services provide a detailed look at their collections, so there’s no way to do a granular comparison by artist, genre, or any other criteria. Amazon and Tidal fare better within the Sonos app — each gives you access to an artist’s top tracks just as you’d get in their standalone mobile app. Qobuz’s integration is arguably the worst. Going to an artist page within Sonos gives you a list of their albums by default, no top tracks anywhere in sight.
So why am I bringing it up? Several Sonos speakers are compatible with both spatial audio and hi-res audio, specifically the Beam Gen 2, Arc, Arc Ultra, and Era 300. If you own any of these products, or can see yourself adding them to your system in the future, you may want to consider a music service that has both hi-res and spatial audio.
Does hi-res on Sonos matter? This is going to seem super weird given that the whole point of this article has been around selecting a music service with hi-res audio, but hear me out.
