Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Figured it out and it's fixed. It's working properly as it should....

"As for the 24/48Khz, then if you are not decoding I would guess that what you are seeing may not be what Tidal are sending you which should give a 16/44.1 readout as per normal streamed tracks."

See my post to Jeff Starr. I'm seeing 24/48KHz for Tidal Masters that are not being decoded. I see 16/44.1 on their HiFi streams (non-Masters). This is correct.

I'm now using the Wyred4Sound uLink USB to S/PDIF converter to the S/PDIF input on my older Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC. I was previously using it's Firewire interface and while Roon was handling it correctly Tidal was not.

While using the Tidal player, it now correctly displays streamed Master files as 24/96 on the DAC display as the Tidal player is doing the MQA decoding in software.

While using Roon player, it correctly displays streamed Master files as 24/48 as Roon is not decoding MQA.

Everything is now working as it should.
