Tidal Hifi review: ONE YEAR with MQA Masters, Audivarna, mConnect, Oppo 205, Upnp
One year test of Tidal (19-20), streaming MQA Masters, using Audivarna, mConnect and Oppo 205!
One year after I posted this video, the Golden Sound channel posted a very detailed analysis of MQA and Tidal's service which I recommend watching. Some of it is very concerning. As someone who makes technical tests of cameras, I know that photographing a chart isn't always representative of capturing and delivering a great looking photo, any more than encoding test tones isn't always representative of capturing and delivering great sounding music. But technical tests like these are still useful to see what's going on behind the scenes and there's some very revealing and concerning results in the Golden Sound video. I have also noticed in the year since I posted this review that Tidal seems to be using MQA for more and more tracks including 16 / 44.1 which, when I made the video, was previously being delivered by lossless FLAC. I've also never been a fan of Tidal's ambiguous labelling of file quality. I would personally prefer lossless FLAC for all audio delivery, so I'm currently evaluating Qobuz side-by-side by Tidal to find out which sounds better to me on my own system.
