Hello, I recently purchased an Astell & Kern A&norma S35 and am very happy with the device. The main issue I have is when using TIDAL (the downloaded, not the stock app). There are a lot of lags, pauses and glitches in almost every song, both when streaming but also when playing downloaded...

Hello! First time posting here. I already posted something similar on Reddit but at that time, I was not aware of the existence of this forum, so there you go. As most of you are probably aware, there appear to be two different TIDAL apps on the Astell & Kern A&norma S35. The first one comes...

The quick summary is that I can't get MQA quality streaming Tidal (or other apps) from my iPhone to a Dragonfly Cobalt or Hip Dac 2. (Thank you to anyone who can help with this!) My setup: - Tidal Masters (I've had the same result with Qobuz) - iPhone SE (I've had the same result with an...

Hello, the last 2 months I've been trying different gear and audio setups, to find out which one is better for me and I find it more enjoyable. The first thing I bought was Sennheiser HD599 SE. A dear friend of mine let me had them for a few days and I made my decision. Easy listening and very...

Hello, I would like to know your opinion about the problem many streaming services and users are facing right now. I have used Qobuz, Tidal and Apple Music. They are all hi res compatible, but some albums have some problems. For example, Tidal has used CD masters of Green Day's Warning to make a...

Hello, something caught my attention the other day. I was reading a WHATHIFI article that talk about the best MQA albums on Tidal. I saw one of my favorite albums there "To pimp a butterfly". Later I searched it on my Tidal app and it was only available in CD quality. It's not a huge deal for...

Hello, I've been experimenting music and equipment for about 18 months. I have tested some headphones, dacs and budget speakers. Recently I purchased my first USB DAC (Hiby FC1), a budget but great option. I have used Sony's WH-1000XM3 for travelling and some casual use, don't criticize me...

Regarding TIDAL for iOS & macOS: First of all, I love the song selection and you simply can’t beat the sample rate (bravo there!), but how does an industry-leading hifi service like Tidal not include EQ natively? Someone hasn't done their homework regarding what audio enthusiasts really want...

Hello, my setup is the next: -Samsung S10e with integrated AKM DAC -Sony WH-1000XM3 wired -Wavelett app MQA is very popular in Tidal, many albums in my library are masters. However I don't consider them to be great on my setup, some CD quality tracks tend to be better for me. I'm aware I'm not...

Swapped from Spotify to Tidal this weekend - three month deal for a £1. Sounds better no question. However, unlike Spotify my tidal doesn't seem to allow me to control the music using different devices. It doesn't find my iPad, iMac and iPhone on the same account like Spotify does automatically...

Hello, First time posting. I have an A&K SR15 with the Tidal APK running so I can download albums for listening without a WiFi connection. This was all working fine until I had to reset the SR15 and re-download all my content, now when I click on a downloaded album with WiFi off I get a message...

I am using a Moon Neo Ace since the past year. I mostly stream lossless music from Tidal, and find using the Moon app very cumbersome to navigate the artists, songs, and playlists. Do you have any recommendations on USB/Optical output streamers that I can use with Neo Ace to stream Tidal...

I have been the happy owner of a Fiio X7 for a while now AM2 module, sounds (IMO) fantastic but as is well documented the UI is clunky and the battery life is getting a little restrictive! I have not had the good fortune of listening to an array of other DAP's and am interested to take...

I currently have a pair of Sony MDR-ZX770BN headphones and a Spotify Premium account, but I'm looking to get a better sound quality. Should I spend my hard earned money on new headphones or upgrading to Deezer HiFi/Tidal. Is it worth upgrading to FLAC/Lossless when my headphones are sub £100...

I've recently invested in some Arcam kit (SA20 Amp and CDS50 CD player with streaming capabilities) and have wanted to stream Tidal (HiFi/FLAC) to it. Although Arcam have their own Music Life App which lets you do this natively from within the app, the experience is poor (app is a bit flaky...
