Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?


Hi Everyone, 

I was going through my favorites list on Tidal when I clicked on Norah Jones "Not Too Late" album, which I happen to own in 96kHz/24. It did not sound nearly as good as I expected. 

Anyone else able to do this comparison? 

Best,

E

I've done some comparisons, and do find that I generally prefer the DSD64 of the Norah Jones "Come Away With Me" version off my NAS over the MQA version that's based on that remaster.  However, the caveat that I would put on there is upgrading components on the router does go long way in bridging that gap.  Upgrading the power supply and the ethernet cables. 

At the same time, I do prefer the MQA over non-MQA version over Tidal. 

What I would like to do at some point is get a local MQA file and compare that to whatever highest res non MQA verison of the file.
