identifying streaming quality on Tidal

Posted by Jim D. (A) on July 12, 2017 at 08:55:30

I recently bought a Bluesound Node 2 and subscribed to Tidal to dip my toes into the lossless streaming world. I'm using an outboard DAC (Marantz SA-8004) as the Bluesound dac is not up to my standards. Is there any way to find what recordings are available at Tidal that will stream a higher bitrate than redbook? My Marantz dac will handle up to 24/192.

I read in some old posts that you can't access the "Masters" files (not sure what that means) if using an iphone or ipad so I will have to load the software on one of my laptops I guess.
