Tidal Masters post possibly hundreds of Universal Music Group titles

The first fruits of the announcement earlier this year that UMG will support MQA are now appearing, totally unheralded as Master recordings on Tidal. I have found dozens and dozens of titles from artists sprinkled throughout their catalog. At this point it seems mostly focused on the Capitol pop catalog and the DG classical one, although I have seen a few Philips and Decca recordings, too.  The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, The Band, Nat King Cole, Glen Campbell, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, Daniel Barenboim, Herbert von Karajan, Gustavo Dudamel...just to name a few.

Preliminary auditions are also favorable. Listening to  "The Band" right now. "A drunkards dream" indeed.

willgolf, I have a Lumin and I usually use the Linn Kazoo app to control it because it works better than Lumin’s app on the Android tablet I use. I occasionally get buffering  that I can’t find a reason for. It happens with both cd quality and MQA albums.

MQA streams at approximately the same bit rate as cd quality so it shouldn’t make a difference, but chips and software have minds of their own.

Are you using an iPad for control?
