Rexp Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 SQ from Tidal HiFi seems to have gone up a couple of notches since the MQA switch on, sound is more dynamic, less digital and a veil has been removed. No idea why. Anyone else experiencing this? Link to comment
witchdoctor Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Yes, I noticed it too. Link to comment
arcman Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I had Tidal about a week before "masters" and I noticed a little more fuller overall sound on a couple heavy played HIFI (non masters) albums. This is while listening thru my studio monitors. I'm not certain I'm just adjusting to TIDALS "house sound or there is actually a difference Link to comment
blownsi Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 My first thought is a server upgrade which could've been required to host the MQA files. Which platform of Tidal (ios/android,desktop) have you noticed the increase in? Link to comment
wklie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Can anybody check that the USB DAC still receives 44.1kHz from the desktop app for the improved non-Masters albums, not upsampled? Thanks. Peter Lie LUMIN Firmware Lead Link to comment

Which platform of Tidal (ios/android,desktop) have you noticed the increase in? Tried the windows app, windows web player and android app and all better but the android app using offline content stored on a class 10 Sd card is where it sounds fundamentally much better. I used to prefer WAV rips on the PC, now I can't listen to them anymore! Link to comment
Cebolla Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Can anybody check that the USB DAC still receives 44.1kHz from the desktop app for the improved non-Masters albums, not upsampled? Thanks.Yes, can confirm the current Windows TIDAL Desktop, version 2.1.2.177 (W: 1.19.4--7) (NP: 2.3.21), is outputting 16/44.1kHz for non-Masters HiFi quality albums. Don't sound any different to me, BTW! We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment
