![]() It is known to require certified and licensed hardware to playback encoded content, folding and unfolding the main audio file. Innovative Audio Formats Up to 9216 kbps Master Quality Authenticated (MQA), Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio, and HiFi 100M+ songs and 650K+ videos Ad-free Listen offline with unlimited skips Live on TIDAL Listen or play your favorite music with others in real-time. MQA claims its tracks use a similar bandwidth to that required for CD-quality streams. Masters TIDAL HiFi Plus Make your listening count. ![]() I just noticed the DAC no longer indicates MQA when a MQA track is. If I connect Volumio directly to my Tidal account, and play the same MQA title with the Volumio browser instead of Tidal Connect, it ends up with the same result, a Blue led on the DragonFly. MQA, or Master Quality Authenticated, is the audio coding technology company that makes high-resolution streams for audio streaming services like Apple Music and Tidal. MQA is available via Tidal and MQA-CD, and products need to support the licensed technology to be able to decode and playback MQA music. MQA using Tidal Connect worked on my Topping E50 DAC using coax before the recent update. Is Volumio doing the complete unfolding and send the unfolded stream to the usb device ?įYI - the issue is present not only with Tidal Connect. Tidal Connect offers an easier way to stream hi-res (or any quality) audio directly to Tidal Connect-compatible. The TIDAL HiFi subscription tier can support up to 44.1kHz/16-bit lossless music, the TIDAL HiFi + tier supports Hi-Res master content (in the TIDAL App, there is golden master tag beside the song name) in the following formats: MQA, FLAC + MQA first unfold, usually 88.2kHz or 96kHz, 24-bit lossless audio. ![]() In that case, why the DragonFly is detecting a 48kHz stream and not detecting an MQA stream. Tidal relies on MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) technology to package its hi-res audio into reasonable file sizes that can then be decoded (or, rather, unfolded) but until now, playback has been limited to the Tidal app. Now, If i connect the same Dragonfly into a USB port on my PI running Volumio, using the same MQA Stream, again using the Tidal desktop client, output Tidal Direct - Volumio selected, the led on the DragonFly is now Blue = 48kHz (MQA is in fact a 48kHz Flac file with the original information higher than 48kHz stored (folded) under -120dB). If I connect my DragonFly directly to my computer over a USB port, using the Tidal desktop app (MacOS) to play any MQA encoded streams i.e: Nirvana - In Utero - 20th Anniversary Remastered (96k) MQA Master, the DragonFly led is showing a beautiful Purple light.Īs seen on the Audioquest Dragonfly Series FAQ page : Purple = MQA playback. 1 I have my oppo 205 witch claimed as full decoder of Tidal MQA I tried to stream my tidal via upnp of mconnect app But nothing happened, still showed 24bit/44.1khz both on iphone and oppo info screen. I know this is kind of an old topic, but I guess that is indeed something not clear the way Volumio is dealing with Tidal Connect and MQA streams.ĭAC = Audioquest DragonFly 1.5 - MQA render device (not full unfold support).
