![]() ![]() I was told that there are no plans to do so “at the moment.” I also asked if this inability to differentiate (or choose) between the the formats would be fixed soon. Presumably, some Tidal listeners won’t be happy that Continuum is no longer streaming in MQA. ![]() But it now exists only as a Max version in FLAC, highlighting once again the problem of not being able to choose formats. Previously, this was a collection of Master tracks in MQA. One exception I found was John Mayer’s 2006 album Continuum. I guess this means that Tidal hasn’t acquired the hi-res FLAC versions (yet). What I can tell you is that every track in my favorites that was previously labeled as “Master” quality still lights up the MQA indicator on my external DAC, even with the new “Max” label. If a HiRes FLAC version (a FLAC version that is at least 24-bit, 48 kHz) does not exist then the MQA version will be the source file.” Specifically: “If a track exists in both and a user has selected Max, the HiRes FLAC will be prioritized over the MQA version. I know what you’re thinking: what happens when a track exists as both a hi-res FLAC and as MQA? Which one wins? According to a Tidal spokesperson, it’s FLAC. In the new quality settings for mobile data or Wi-Fi streaming, there are only three choices: Low, High, and Max, with no additional options for FLAC or MQA. To make matters worse, there’s no way to filter Max tracks by your format preference. ![]() To be clear: when listening to Max tracks, there is no additional indicator on the playback screen or anywhere else, for that matter, that shows you if the track in question is FLAC or MQA. And there’s no way to know which one you’re streaming without connecting your phone to an external digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that can tell the difference between the two formats. That best quality version might be FLAC, or it might be MQA. According to Tidal, “Max” means “you’re getting the best quality version of any song” on the service. Output Ports: 1x 3.Master or Max?
