AudioDoctor Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Gentleman, and ladies if there are any, Just use A+ it works flawlessly. No electron left behind. Link to comment
watercourse Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Agreed. Just sign in to Tidal and use A+ for navigation. Are you even getting the benefits of A+ filters if you're using the web player?

AudioDoctor Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I also want to note, for those of you for whom it is important, Tidal and A+ plays gaplessly perfectly. No electron left behind. Link to comment

watercourse Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I also want to note, for those of you for whom it is important, Tidal and A+ plays gaplessly perfectly. And this is true even with playlists with mixed sources (from both my NAS and Tidal)! The only problem with the A+ 2.6 and Remote 1.6 thus far is that the pairing of my second device took a few tries. Then, my first paired device experienced a longish lag in finding the desktop app. Once found/paired though, operations are pretty peppy compared to before. Seems like library navigation has increased in overall speed. True with searching Tidal as well.

AudioDoctor Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 SO here is a question. Is A+ with Tidal streaming MQA? No electron left behind. Link to comment
pl_svn Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 @Damien: bug in A+ 2.5 (or in Yate?) -> track rating in A+ is one star less than what I assign using Yate :-/ (AIFF 24/44.1 tracks) Qnap HS-264 NAS (powered by an HD-Plex 100w LPS) > Cirrus7 Nimbini v2.5 Media Edition i7-8559U/32/512 running Roon ROCK (powered by a Keces P8 LPS) > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio NOS digital preamplifier > Metrum Acoustics Forte power amplifier (or First Watt SIT 3 power amplifier or Don Garber Fi "Y" 6922 tube preamplifier + Don Garber Fi "X" 2A3 SET power amplifier, both powered from an Alpha-Core BP-30 Isolated Symmetrical Power Transformer) > Klipsch Cornwall III headphones system: Cirrus 7 > Lumin U2 > Metrum Acoustics Adagio > Pathos Aurium amplifier (powered by an UpTone Audio JS-2 LPS) > Focal Clear headphones Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I am kind of excited about this discovery, I have not been able to find this small CD/EP? from Jill Barber anywhere but as a crappy compressed download and here it is in Tidal in full CD quality. No electron left behind. Link to comment
watercourse Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Agree, so many out of print, impossible to find R&B, soul, jazz titles on Tidal. Lots of duplication too. Now I'm starting to realize how streaming may actually be a boon to record companies with massive back catalogs and no brick and mortar merchants to work with anymore. But good for me, I'll enjoy these three months of digging in the crates and seeing if Tidal will sustain my long-term interest!

NVzL38ldDlYTcU1T1dMr Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hi Damien, Another UI observation. Once in main window, when you click on a song, Zone 4 naturally displays the song details on the right pane. But when I click back on the album art in zone 3 to view the album details, it unfortunately does not display the album art details. To do so, I have to click on another album in Zone 3, then click back on the first album again. Cheers, nv Link to comment

Russell_L Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Very good news... This pop is very annoying. Do you know when the 5.20 will be launched? I have no idea when iFi will be releasing 5.20 officially, but I think it will likely be pretty soon. You can write to them and ask if they can send you a copy of the 5.20 beta, which has been working flawlessly for me.

jrflanne Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Just downloaded 2.5 with Tidal. All I can say is after years of searching, Audirvana 2.5 is the Answer. Beautifully done. Link to comment

Pocobear Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Help, When in album mode, an album ends, and I click on another to play, it looks like it loaded, but, it won't play. I have to hit stop then click on play again to get it to play. This happens almost all the time now ,however sometimes it works properly. I have deleted all instants of A+ and reloaded just A+ 2.5, same problem. This has been happening from ver. 2.3.3 all the way to 2.5.

Dyson Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Quick listen to 2.5 - not a/b comparison - makes me think the bass power has returned that some mentioned had slipped a bit in 2.4.
