TIDAL today started slowly rolling MQA content for streaming. I've been able to stream Roberta Flack's Killing Me Softly in MQA 192/24 and Pat Metheny's Kin (<-->) in MQA 96/24 for example. I'm using Meridian Sooloos and a Meridian 818v3.

I am really surprised at how varied the offerings are in this initial rollout. Something for just about everybody. I have already added several titles to my library. It will take days to see how many more are worth repeated listenings.

Apologies for the thickness, but how do I access this content within Tidal (hopefully via Roon)? I thought i saw that info in one of these threads, but have rescanned them several times and can't find it. Apologies if I'm just missing it.
Thanks. |

Jim, In Roon, it is a crap shoot. Only on the Desktop Tidal app can you see a category under new releases called Masters. In Roon, you don't get the same sort and have to find them in the PC desktop app, 'favorite' what you like and then you can see it in Roon. Kind of stupid but I don't make the rules. Craig

I must say the 10 days since Tidal started streaming MQA have been the most enjoyable I have spent in this hobby for years. A couple of releases are the best sound I have heard anytime and anywhere. I'm not saying that all MQA titles sound better than any PCM or DSD because in the end MQA doesn't make up for a poor recording just as Hi Rez and DSD do not. Here are the + 941 titles currently identified and they are all not listed under "Masters" in Tidal. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...vid=1968149103 |

Nice list of various styles. By the way, I see that Maria Callas has most albums of all.

Jim, You are much more dedicated to MQA than I am. No way, I am going to run through that list then go into ROON\TIDAL, search for each one I like and add it to my favorites - when all they have to do is add that as a searchable field in the iOS app \ their system. I admire your dedication to it. Craig

There are only a handful of artists I am interested in so going thru +900 albums doesn't take that much time. Sure if they would just list them all under Masters it would be mush easier. I have only tagged about 20 so far and there aren't too many more I will be checking out. Waiting for the next batch to be loaded. The way I look at it, I will listen to the artists I like in either format. If it is available in MQA great, if not, still good. |

Fair enough Jim. I just don't understand why they can allow the search in the Desktop app but not via Roon or an iOS App. I have to think they were excited to get it 'out there' and didn't have all the bells and whistles checked yet. I am pretty sure they will address that and we will shortly be able to search for Masters recordings in all platforms. In the meantime, I can wait. It is almost fun to try and stumble upon a Masters recording.
