Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?

Hi @ejr1953 

Can you try Tidal without MQA and tell me what you think?

Since Not Too Late was released 2007, and Copy Controlled ended in 2006, it's right on the edge of possible. 

Sorry @kalali I'm not trying to be a scientist right now. I'm just curious if anyone else had this experience. 

I am afraid this is getting derailed. I really did not want to talk about MQA per se, just this particular recording. Not really interested in doing any sort of A/B comparisons for you either.

I just noticed that the redbook Not Too Late on Tidal doesn't sound as good as the Hi Res version and wondered if anyone else had this experience. 

Best,

E

I should check to see if there is a date on the Tidal site. I do not thing I could hear 1 or 2 dB of difference in the dynamic range, but the mastering differences make sense.
