I’ve compared many Tidal MQA 24/96 first unfolds of ECM and Blue Note jazz titles to those titles ripped at 16/44.1 from CDs. The Tidal MQA 24/96 versions are superior.
Help with streaming Tidal's Master tracks
Hi folks, new guy here so please bear with me.
I would like some advice about what exactly I would need hardware wise to enable Tidals master music. Right now I am streaming their cd quality with either apple airplay from my airport express output or from dish music through dish hopper output.
I realize I must use my computer to get the master tracks but am a little confused as to what additional hardware I need. My IMac is in a different room but I can run cables if need be. My equipment right now is a Jolida 3502p amp and a Schitt Freya preamp, my speakers are Paradigm studio 60'sv3. So as you see not real high end stuff but what I can afford. I'm pleased with the sound quality but would like to try the master tracks from Tidal. I don't have a dac. Would you folks explain to me what I would need to do to use Tidal at its full potential. I appreciate any advice you can offer. Thanks, erik
