but whatever it is it takes a LOT of CPU time compared to normal TIDAL/QOBUZ.
If I understand what was explained by Meridian a year or so ago at RMAF, they are sending a 'folded' file that contains 'Hi Rez' in a packet which is 24/48 and 'unfolding' it to something that looks a lot like the original Hi Rez file but without all 24 bits.
I think some of that is being done in TIDAL's new software as I am told that without decoding all you get is 16/44.1 and this version of TIDAL, when playing MQA with TIDAL setting the 'audio device' it sets MIDI Player to either 88.2K or 96K depending on the album.
Understanding TIDAL is limited to a packet size of 24/48 I am guessing that the 'unfolding' to 88.2K and/or 96K is going on inside my old/slow MacBook Air and is causing the fan to run full force after a few minutes.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
