In Reply to: RE: Streaming Hiss on Tidal posted by Kody on October 17, 2016 at 10:36:56
However there was a guy on the TIDAL blog who claimed that certain labels were putting audible 'water marks' on some of the files they submitted.
One of his examples I could here a difference between the TIDAL version and the version on QOBUZ which SELLS the downloads and therefore has no audible water mark.
The water mark is kind of a warble in the music at certain points.
Mostly rock/pop and not old classical records like I listen to.

Didn't catch the names of the songs, but they were classical piano songs in a playlist. I'll see if I can't find them again. It was definitely hiss and not warble.
It would be good if you could identify the piano pieces and the artists.
I am wondering, as you describe it as hiss and only relevant to some tracks, if you may be listening to recordings made many years ago. These are almost certain to exist on Tidal's database especially if the artist is of historial significance.
So my guess is that the hiss you hear is tape hiss from recordings made before the advent of Dolby. They will have been digitised subsequently but the hiss remains.
As watermarking appears to result in a warbling or tremolo effect and that doesn't seem to fit with your description I agree with you and doubt if that is the cause.
