TechHiFi Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I am running AO 1.40 and I have Tidal HiFi downloaded on my server. When I listen to a track on my server it sounds way better than when I pick the same track on Tidal. There are not many changes to be made on Tidal but are there any settings I can change in AO to make Tidal sound better???

AudioPhil Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hello in my opinion streamed sound just does sound worse that local stored sound, even if TIDAL is lossless. Use AO with as many options to get the best result, but there will most likely be a difference between locally stored and streamed sound. ıllıllı [ ...AO 4.00 BETA... ] ıllıllı ____________________________________________________________________________________ Shop | Reviews | Reference System | AudiophileOptimizer 3.00 | PDF Guide Link to comment

I dream of a time you can get GREAT sound from Tidal or some other service...

TechHiFi Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well... It's been a year and 9 months. Are we any closer to achieving great sound from Tidal? Is MQA a significant improvement? I'm still running AO 1.4 and JRiver MC21 will upgrading these improve sound quality? THANKS!
