Hello Folks.
Finally my Hip Dac reaches me after a month of waiting. Honestly, I am pretty blown away with it. Compact in size, powerful yet undistorted in sound and most of all it can unfold MQA files.
But there's some confusion which I hope any Hip Dac owners can assists.
Can Hip Dac decode MQA files from Tidal app itself?
- Currently am stacking the Hip Dac with my Sony NW-A105 Walkman and playback via Tidal app. AFAIK, in order to get magenta (MQA), I need to use UAPP to play these files. Playback from the app itself will only get you green. But in the process, I noticed there are some MQA tracks do show magenta in my Hip Dac while running from the Tidal app but most of the times it shows green for MQA files which I am clearly aware of it.
Is there something I have missed out or unaware that Hip Dac can decode MQA files in Tidal app itself, if not playback from UAPP? Or is there some missing steps I need to do to have MQA files playback and show as magenta?
As I am writing this, am listening to 'In The End' by Linkin Park (MQA version) via Tidal app and it is showing magenta. And it turn to green when playing 'Bags' by Clairo after the earlier song.
Any suggestions/clarification is much appreciated. Thank and stay safe always!
