@ghosthouse understood and I imagine Tidal will figure it out. Also kind of glad it happened in the sense of I realize we've been paying $10/month to rent the stupid gateway over 10 years that's $1200! (I don't pay the cable bill my gf does should have looked sooner lol). So a state of the art gateway for $178 will pay for itself in 18 months.

@ghosthouse & @mr_m You may wanna read up on this thread about the buffering issues with Tidal. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-is-the-most-common-cause-of-dropouts-when-streaming-tida... |
Like with all other media, just because it is MQA does not make it the best recording you can find. I have plenty of examples where the original CD or Vinyl sounds better than MQA. It mostly boils down to the mix and mastering quality....so YMMV between various MQA masters. That said - the Deluxe Led Zeppelin MQA is a huge improvement on the multitude of releases over the years... |
@lalitk Thanks for reminding me about that thread. I read it and just checked my internet download speed (speedtestdotcom). It came in at 60+ Mbps which seems okay though paying Xfinity for Burst which is supposed to be 150Mbps max tested direct off the ISP modem via ethernet cable, I believe. My speed was wireless off an Airport Express router (and w/DirecTV, also wireless, recording a program). Will review that thread again...see if there is anything else I can do on my end. Kinda suspect it is Tidal since everything else runs "glitch" free. |
randyhat, Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this list! I have found that, to find a lot of new MQA on Tidal, you need to go into each artist I'm interested in, one by one, and scroll thru the albums on their individual page. With your list I found some gems to add to my "favorites". Thank you! |
