I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm just curious to know who they are. Tidal has gotten a lot of press and is well known, but who are the others?
Tidal partnering with some 'high-end' manufacturers is a brilliant idea and not an uncommon 'co-marketing' scheme. It benefits both partners, unless it backfires.
Personally, I don't like the fact that Auralic raised their price from $399 to $549 and as a consumer I can only assume that the price hike was to cover for the so-called "free" Tidal bundle.
Perhaps Auralic was too quick in announcing their $399 Aries Mini price to the press then changing their marketing tactics and raising the price. A bit of a foot fault on the first serve, IHMO.

You can get Deezer Elite (As I did). You can get a yearly Subscription which amounts to about $10 a month. What I did was buy a Sonos Connect and signed up for Deezer Elite (A sales deal)... I returned the Sonos, but still have a Subscription to Deezer Elite, which I run on my SB Touch via Ickstream.
Pretty Soon Deezer Elite will be available to everyone in the States. I did use it in the Bahamas last winter.

I got the Wyred 4 Sound modified Sonos connect, it is bliss. Why to these people in the music industry make it so much work and hacking away for us?
Good day.
that's what I pay for.
Fuck forcing Deezer Elite. ;-)I have no need for Sonos and don't plan to "game the system" to get the service then return the Sonos.
I am interested only in legit services and legit ways of subscribing.
Having to buy a Sonos to get Deezer Elite in the US is more "bullshit" than bundling Tidal with the Auralic Aries Mini. Just say'n.

Sonos supports Tidal as well,
sorry I am grumpy today, apologies :)
if you register as a SONOS customer and list your address in Europe, but...
No Rhapsody for YOU, if you do!
I sub to Google Music and Deezer Elite.I'm in the US though. I used to sub to Rhapsody, they were one of the first companies that got it, that vision.
About 20% of the music I listen to isn't available on the "major" services, however the labels are very very very very very small, so that's understandable. Bandcamp.com makes up for that, and Sonos has a Bandcamp app as well.
btw: I'm on bandcamp, name your price of $0 for my album :)
