Hey guys , need some advice.
I have been trying out tidal USA trial account for about 15 days now. I'm using the following chain :
Dell laptop- fideliser, j river WDM driver, tidal HiFi app on Windows 10, metrum Octave DAC,parasound pre, first watt f5, Harbeth P3esr, and an assortment of cables.
I have compared with Spotify on the same chain.
I have also compared with my music stored in Wave format in the hard disc of the Dell laptop .
Though Tidal sounds spatial with a wide sounstage and and is cleaner and more resoving than Spotify, but somehow sounds a bit thinner than either Spotify or the wave file, and slightly edgy at the top in certain songs which is giving a bit of fatigue if listened for a long stretch of time.
Am I the only one hearing this or is there some compatility issue of J river WDM and tidal hifi ,considering that I am not getting the edgy sound issue with either Spotify or wave file in the same chain?
Advice please.
