ahendler and aberyclark Thank you for the response. I am able to get full MQA decoding to work across all of the master albums. between the 2L and others I need to de-select the MQA passthrough and re-select when switching between the 2. do you see the same? MAC OS 10.9.5 and Explorer v1717. The full MQA is great.
Tidal has started streaming MQA encoded albums
My Tidal app updated and - voila! - there's about 30,000 MQA Master tracks available to stream for Tidal's HiFi subscribers.
It appears the MQA decoder is in the app so the listener can enjoy MQA without buying any hardware as long as the DAC can handle 24/96.
First impressions are very good either using Tidal's app for MQA or listening thru Roon and getting a 24/48 (non-"unfolded") MQA file.
Then again, it could be my DAC filters better at 24/48 & 24/96 than at 16/44.
