RE: TIDAL and quality

I access Tidal though my Linn streamers. When comparing Tidal streaming to local streaming of albums I've ripped to my NAS, sometimes I can't tell the difference but often I can. When I can't tell the difference, it's usually a small label/indie/audiophile album. The differences are more common with major label stuff. Some of the more obvious differences are due to mastering. With classic albums that have been remastered to death, usually only one version is available on Tidal and it's not always clear which one. But even when comparing the same version, sometimes I notice more grain/grunge when streaming from Tidal vs. from NAS.
