anyone check out tidal hifi?

Just noticed there is a new streaming startup that is advertising lossless audio streaming with a 25 million song catalog for 20 dollars a month...
I guess it's available on Microsoft, android, and ios.
I am definitely intrigued, but my living room is dismantled at the moment and I wont try it till there is a chromecast app. Here is a link if any of you want to try it and give me your impression

Yes, I am trying it out for a month for free. Initially, I couldn't hear much difference in HiFi than I could from the other streamer services, but I have run across several albums that sound much better than Pandora and my freebie Spotify. Whether I decide to spend $20/per month in perpetuity remains to be seen.

I have a one month free trail right now.
Cons:
I noticed their catalog is not as extensive as spotify, music take a while to buffer.

Pros.
I think the music sounds really good since its streaming at 44.1kHz/16 bit. Definitely way better than spotify or pandora.

I think i might keep the subscription for a while.

Here is a great way to A/B Tidal on your own system for free:

How many can you get right?

I've had spotify premium for 3 years now- had free trial of tidal for a while.. Not worth the extra 10 bucks a month- too many drop outs, and no perceivable difference when it was working smoothly.

Tidal just started a $10 a month option

Meh. Standard quality music and music vids. I stream for the music, not the music videos, plus I see no reason to switch from Spotify for the time being. I wasn't overly fond of their player either.

Spotify supported by Roku & TV app, all things considered I will stick with Spotify. I did their trial, just not worth $20/mo IMO

Checked it out but no app for windows phone.

I had checked out the free trial couple of months ago... Definitely much better sound quality than Spotify... but decided to stay with Spotify... If Tidal had a better way to discover music like Spotify... then I may have stayed... but Tidal's music suggestion was not very good...
