OK, perhaps a millisecond of hesitation between the tracks, yes you can tell when TIDAL goes to a new track and no, there is not even a hint of hesitation when playing the same Stravinsky LP on QOBUZ.
But then QOBUZ takes over 10% of the disk space (Automatique 10% de l'espace disque libre) for cache.

The gaps on the iPod are less under Tidal than either the web browser mode using Chrome or the PC app (the worst of the bunch). iTunes, Spotify, and classicsonlinehd do not exhibit any gaps or delays. I have submitted a customer support ticket to Tidal. Since it is not a bug report but it is the weekend I do not expect an answer until Monday or so.
I met the Norwegian guys who started TIDAL while they were exhibiting at the RMAF this last October and they were very familiar with QOBUZ and the technology being used for streaming so I would be surprised if they didn't what their stuff performing at least as well as QOBUZ.
That said, the search function on TIDAL is a shabby joke and I wish I had kept the business cards of they guys I met at RMAF so I could complain.
I received a prompt answer this morning from Tidal support about gapless playback:
Hello Spencer,
Thank you for contacting TIDAL customer support.
Gapless playback is a feature that will be integrated soon. We are aware of the demand for this feature, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Best Regards,
Colin
TIDAL Support
It will be interesting when and how they implement this feature. I'm going to keep my subscription for now because they do have most of the major classical labels covered which classicsonlinehd.com does not. Between the two, about the only thing I will have to buy is Hyperion and BluRay!
I use TIDAL mostly through the SONOS system as the have a SONOS app for TIDAL now in beta testing.
My main streamer is QOBUZ as they have a much more effective search function and for some reason now have most of the Chandos label back available again for some reason. Perhaps they paid their bills! ;-)
