A new problem with Tidal

I noticed a new problem with Tidal last night... When searching for Led Zeppelin IV, the list of choices was Deluxe Edition CD or HR, or the remastered in either CD or HR.  But when playing, they all play in the exact same CD 16/44.

I had this happen on more than one album, so I went to Qobuz and was able to stream the exact same album at Q HR FLAC 24/96.

I use a Bluestream Vault to stream through my McIntosh amp.

So is Tidal experiencing tech problems or are they intentionally mis-representing their streaming rates?

Zep IV streams as 96/24 from Tidal for me. Both Jplay and Roon. My DAC shows 96khz.

So I tried to post pics but that didn't work.

The first one was a screen shot that shows you can pick a cd version or the Super Deluxe at the HR 96 rate.  But the second pic shows that both play at cd 16/44.

I know Tidal made me sign out and sign back in again last week, so I thought  maybe the settings all changed. I've been all over the BluOS settings and can't find any, but on the PC app settings for Tidal I found a radio button where you can chose the streaming level, but mine is set at the max 192.  

So I'm out of ideas
