DAC That Streams Hi-Res Tidal

Ummmm, I Dont think so...From my understanding, 16 Bit 44Khz resolution is lower than standard CD Quality, of services such as PANDORA, SPOTIFY, that allow 24 bit 96khz resolution. Now, Tidal is a HI REZ AUDIO service that offers 33 Bit 1500khz resolution! So unless you have the correct gear to translate this new format your not going to hear it. Or am I just completely insane?

MOFI, What resolution is DEEZER and Tidal?? Yes AL, I am mixed up on this digital stuff. Help. I have a old MSB 24/96 DAC. I thought that for me to enjoy a service like Tidal, I would have to Upgrade my DAC. Also, I use spotify because Its a lower rez service that my old DAC is compatible with. Ok I know I am sounding like a major newbie because I need you guys to explain this to me in this way ...lol

wow ! that's good news. My MSB DAC has Toslink,RCA,XLR. So I can connect to a lot of different sources. I have it hooked up right now using a Toslink from my PC motherboard to a 24/96 DIP then digital XLR to the DAC and out to a tubed headphone amp driving a pair of Sennheiser 600's...Sounds really good using spotify.

Ok so the higher cost service (deezer, Tidal) are providing higher ..or..faster bit rates for customers? does this higher rate sound better? I am still confused. I thought 16/44 was the base cd format when it first came out in the 80's?? I feel so stupid about this.

Thanks Mofi, the Info you linked, really helps me understand this digital medium better. Of course thanks to AL as well for explaining things fully.
