Cider also went from an open source project to a closed source project. I stopped using them after that.

The Cider Devs also seem like terrible people FYI
I know everyone likes Cider. But the devs are extremely homophobic, racist, Trump apologists, and deny that Covid was ever that major. Link in post. : r/AppleMusic - reddit.com/…/i_know_everyone_likes_cider_but_the_…

I did the tidal ABX test, which I prefer since it’s comparing FLAC, and the difference is almost negligible. I do hear a slight difference >15k, and I can only year up to 18.5k, but on most tracks it’s not noticeable. Also slightly worse transients, but again, only noticable on a few tracks. I also can only hear any of this on HD600s with very, very high volume, which is not how I usually listen to music. I really like this test :)
Lossless is still nice to have though, mostly because I can then rip FLAC files to do good remasters, which is why I happily use tidal (also for a number of other reasons).
