I pay $5.99ā€¦ now they raise it to $10.99 lol

Youā€™re a student I guess?

The hifi and hifi plus are the same after 10 April. I think thatā€™s a good deal. Itā€™ll align with Qobuz prices but I feel Tidal is a bit better all around.

But Iā€™m a lifelong studentā€¦ where do I sign up for the discountā€¦

Military. Yeah, although my email says 10.99 not 13.99

Didnā€™t realize they offered mil discount. Will need to check on this.

You using a dependent ID along with the student rate?

Thatā€™s because you were paying the 5.99. I was paying for hifiplus and since theyā€™re lowering that tier and combining it with the hifi one, itā€™ll be 13.99 going forward. You had a discount so youā€™re getting the 10.99. I will soon to tho lol.

No, Iā€™m the veteran so no dependent id. I donā€™t think you can combine discounts.

Afaik, itā€™s 10.99 across the board. Tidal slashed any kind of student/military/first responder discountsā€¦

lol the verge. Wonder if theyā€™re still fighting cancer or static. :laughing:

Yeah, I didnā€™t know they ever offered a mil discount.

Thatā€™s cool you were able to use your ID and get a discount. They accepted a medical/VA ID or something similar?

I think it was through id.me but tbh I donā€™t remember, itā€™s been a long time since I opted for their subscription

Gotcha. I have that as well. I emailed them and asked if this was true, regarding them removing the discount.

I got an email from Tidal yesterday letting me know my discount would be going away once the new $10.99 pricing begins. Iā€™m currently paying $11.99/month, so after 4/10/24 Iā€™ll be saving $1/month. Sounds good to me.

If you use apple and your subscription is through them then itā€™s 30% more. Thatā€™s why my email said $13. Tidal said I can just swap my payment method and Iā€™m good. Kinda crazy that thereā€™s a difference.

Theyā€™re just passing on the ammount Apple takes.
Itā€™s becoming more common.

Very cool, his recent Compactron line also has a few DAC configurations and less money than the heritage line. Heritage line is between ā‚¬15k-ā‚¬20k, Compactron is over ā‚¬7k.

I like the way they never update the links, just the content.
Interesting they still offer the 4 variants, but theyā€™ve stopped doing that for the higher end stuff.

Also a bit unfortunate theyā€™ve cycled through Amber versions quite so fast, the Amber 3 was current 3 years ago, and there now on the 5.
Itā€™s nice they have a decent trade in policy, but that comes across a bit too fast to cycle through the 4.
