Distinguishing Master albums just got easier -- TIDAL has added an "M" icon against the Master versions   

As a newbie, I was quite confused because often the phrases, "24-bit" and "resolution", are used together. I later learned that the bit depth is indicative of the dynamic range, and not finer-grained resolution of a static loudness range. Hopefully, we can have a thread on popular Hi-Fi...

Implementing in an add-on would make sense since a lot of users would not want to bear the burden of licensing fees for a technology they don't need.

  FYI. From the Poly thread. Sounds like something is going on.   Note that I'm only referring to MQA support as a feature here and do not intent to trigger a debate about the technology itself; to do that, please visit the relevant thread...

But Roon can do one layer of "unfolding" at best, just like any other software like TIDAL. The second iteration must be implemented in the DAC, at least that's what the MQA specs entail.

They have?!

That's the most confidence-inspiring post I've seen till date!  This was a pretty big subconscious roadblock.

I've seen only positive reviews for these cables. But compared to DHC's much more expensive offerings, would these sound "inferior" in any way? Or is DHC over-priced?

    Thank you, gentlemen  The website lists $2499-something for the Platinum speaker wires, but I'd expect those to have a much thicker gauge. Wasn't sure what that would translate to for headphones.

  Yeah, I meant using Roon as a workaround to stream offline TIDAL content without Internet connectivity.   @rkw's link is helpful. While it states that the desktop app disallows offline content (I'm on Linux and can only use the Web player on Chrome), there isn't information about mobile use.

Think it was something about watching his daughter play at a river bank with flint.

Thank you! I don't have a Dave yet, but planning to acquire one within a year. I simply wish to avoid going through a cycle of cable upgrades.   Would you happen to know how much a Platinum headphone cable costs? It isn't clear from the WyWires website.

I was pretty much set on purchasing DHC Complement4 Flagship for my Ether C Flows, but this inconsistency in delivery times has been quite a turn-off. I see all these glowing reviews, and wonder how much uncertainty and hassle I will have to go through between the time I place and order the the...

I'm not sure how much tech will be "given out". Rob Watts has been open-minded about MQA, which he wouldn't be otherwise.   There are some comparisons in the TIDAL MQA thread around this post: http://www.head-fi.org/t/831291/ces-2017-mqa-announces-tidal-masters-and-more/360#post_13209704  ...

I will obviously choose the better DAC, and I will obviously miss the music quality that I'm not getting because of it. I will still purchase Hugo 2. And I will be sad. That's why I'm asking Chord. Help.
