The Computer Audiophile Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Just now, R1200CL said: https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000397069-TIDAL-Masters-and-Master-Quality-Audio What is the difference between HiFi quality and Master Quality audio? TIDAL HiFi provides uncompressed lossless sound quality, streaming at 1411kbps or 16-Bit / 44.1 kHz. Master Quality audio reflects the original source and can stream up to 9216 kbps or 24-Bit / 192 kHz (typically 96 kHz / 24 bit) How does TIDAL deliver Master Quality audio? MQA files are compressed through a process known as ‘Music Origami’ in order to make them small enough to stream or download. TIDAL utilizes MQA’s Core Decoder compression technology to achieve the first unfold and deliver higher than CD-quality. This first unfold is capable of an output of 88.2kHz or 96kHz. MQA Renderers are capable of the second unfold. Renderers can come in the form of products such as Digital Analog Converters or headphones. When paired with a core decoder they can complete the final unfold enabling you to hear exactly what the artist created and recorded in the highest possible sound quality. That's marketing. There is no more data to unfold. It's upsampling after 96 kHz. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
