Tidal Updates: 1-2 days ago After the previous changes/implementation (FLAC/MAX) people were having hard time getting use to it and not knowing what versions are they listening to. Others even speculate is that the end of MQA? Looks like the lasted update clear out this uncertainties for the...

I've got a DX240, which I adore, with the latest firmware running Android 11. Lately, the APK Pure app is choking on downloading certain apps, specifically, the latest Tidal app update. It just won't download at all no matter how I clean app storage or reboot. Can anyone here confirm that the...

Hi. I’m using Tidal Hifi (not mqa) on a Pixel 5 and a Galaxy S22 (Exynos). I have some different dacs (Audiolab mdac, Earstudio es100 mk2, Hifime Sabre 9018, and Earman tr-amp.) When moving from one dac to another I usually run into some issues. Sometimes the music plays at the wrong speed and...

Hello I suppose this is how most people end up on a forum. Either they have a massive interest or need help. So, time to show my ignorance. For the last 6 or 7 years I've been using a set of Senn CX985s with various Samsung phones for a portable music experience. Recently I started using an...

Im pretty sure it’s not placebo effects but comparing the master versions from Tidal they sound better than the equivalent lossless version of Apple Music. What do you guys think?

Hi, there! I have a question for all the Tidal users out there: would you be interested in a Shazam-like app that connects to your Tidal account and lets you add (manually and/or automatically) identified songs straight to your Tidal music library? If so, how much money would you be willing to...

Hibymusic 4.2.1 with Tidal issues. I was excited to try out the new Tidal link with the Hibymusic EQ functions. Using FiiO M11 Pro (Android). I logged into Tidal and my playlists and music were accessable. EQ worked nicely. I did not purchase the MQA functionality. HOWEVER… after the first...

Recently I am able to subscribed to a 4 months free trial on apple music, tried playing them over my fiio DAP, they sounded better than Tidal app (android), but when i switch over to stream music using a PC connected to an external DAC/AMP, Apple music cannot deliver bit-perfect music given that...

Hey guys, I have been wondering anyone notice any sound quality difference between Tidal and Apple music? I have been using my fiio m11plus DAP and made some serious analysis and found out that for the same 16bit44k(cd quality) streaming, to my ears: Tidal: More intimate vocals, slightly...

I bought my first DAC ever after reading for weeks about how to improve audio quality so landed into de Ifi Zen Dac V2, also moved to Tidal. This set up changed the way how I thought I knew about music, silly me, how come in 37 years old of existence I never thought that a DAC and Service...

Hi everyone, I have just started my trial with Amazon HD after about a year of using Tidal. Here is my brief head-to-head set of impressions, with some questions about others’ impressions and thoughts. This is done not blinded, simply switching back and forth on the same song between the two...

Tidal hifi is cheap here. I have it, it's fine. Qobuz is not available. Is that all there is?

Hi, I'm evaluating the purchase of a DAC to be coupled with Sennheiser HD 660 S headphones. The price target is 300 € max. At the moment I'm thinking of buying iFi Nano iDSD Black Label. Do you think there is a better choice? I'm looking for a DAC which: Has support for MQA (Tidal); Has a...

I just got the Senn HD800 and the 6-7kHz is too harsh for my ears. Would love to have an eq to adjust the sound. Mainly using Tidal to stream (Master), are there any eq software available ? The only one that I know of is Amarra Luxe if I understand correctly it allows the adjustment of the eq...

Hi When opening the Tidal app on the m6 I get stuck trying to log in. ”Login failed due to an unexpected network error, please try again” Have tried resetting router and factory reset on the m6 to no avail. My connection and Tidal works fine on another unit, and been good on the m6 before. Any...

Hello everyone, so I'm loving the sound signature of my Dethonray DTR1 DAP, paired with my Sonorous X headphones. Cleanest sound I've ever heard from a DAP. However, there's one glaring fault, which is that there is literally no way to play tracks from Tidal on the player as it contains no...

Hi all. I've been streaming Tidal for a couple of years now and have recently encountered a new problem while listening. Every couple of songs i start to hear what sounds like crackling & stuttering in the audio stream, sometimes the song even seems to slow down during this event. If i hit the...

I'm back with more questions! I have been on the hunt for the right DAP for me. Initially, I was going to go with more mass-market Sony Walkman. Decided against that (too expensive for what you get). I looked at all the major brands - HiBy, Shanling, etc. I seriously considered the DX220 (even...

I just got the FiiO BTR5 in the mail today - first impressions from this beginner audiophile are that it’s a powerful little guy. Unfortunately, I’m quickly realizing that it’s somewhat limited in its performance when paired with Apple products (iPhone 8 and 2017 iMac). Don’t get me wrong, it...
