RE: Mastersound (MQA) on Tidal streaming

Not sure what is going on but my dac is showing an incoming 24/88 or sometimes a 24/96 stream when using Master albums. It sounds VERY different. The Tidal program has also been given exclusive access so it is not dependent on the audio setting of my MBP.

One other interesting thing to note. My DAC uses analogue switching relays so I hear little clicking noises as resolutions change. A couple times there have been multiple clicks and a couple second "whine" coming from my DAC as if it is having a hard time deciding what the resolution is? Some issue with MQA?

Bullet - I first saw that Tidal had "Master" albums yesterday. They had maybe 100 albums. but this morning that number has probably doubled. I think they will roll this out pretty quickly. I was generally pretty happy with old regular CD quality Tidal, but having enhanced albums is icing on the cake.
