[rattosecond]

Do we have such list?

Thanks for the list. I wonder why you cannot see them when clicking on the masters tab. When looking through, it's frustrating when they have 3-6 versions and we have to click on each to figure out what's what.

erniejade- I feel the same way-one way may be to click on any 'deluxe editions' or 'remastered' albums- I did that for Judy Collins '60's collection' and the deluxe edition is the MQA version. Still it is a royal PIA.

FWIW, I purchased one of the "deluxe editions" from TIDAL just to see if they are selling MQA files without advertising it.

 

I purchased the "deluxe edition" of Icky Thump by The White Stripes because A) it just showed up in the TIDAL catalog, so I assume the FLAC download and the MQA stream are from the same master and B) it comes with two bonus tracks that were previously only available from iTunes.

 

The result: At least according to my Meridian Explorer², the files are standard FLAC, not MQA.
