Do you have the MQA software decoding option set to disable?
As I understand it now, you need the following:
1) Latest Tidal app (not browser version)
2) with MQA software decoding enabled, non-native MQA DACs will get some benefit (ie hirez stream at 24/88 or 24/96).This is what I am seeing now.
3) for native MQA DACs, you can disable the Tidal software decoding and get the actual MQA stream which should light up your DAC. You need to insure that the Tidal app is set to allow exclussive access or your OS may up/down sample and effect the integrity of the MQA stream.
Follow Ups:
when I use 'Exclusive Mode', at least on 2L Nordic Sound tracks.
That said, 'Sailing to Philadelphia' track sounds as good or even better than a ripped CD, or so it seems to me. Not sure my version are is from the same CD?
And sound good as well, if you like that sort of thing. ;-)
