Tidal stutters on phone trying to play highest quality

What happens if you download the affected track(s) to your phone? Even if just as an experiment, it will help you narrow down the issue.

I've never had a single issue with Tidal buffering when streaming, but I don't stream through a phone.

You have three download options in Settings > Downloads > Audio. Low, High and Max, and Max is 24-bit, 192 kHz, so the format you're experiencing buffering with.
 
If your phone has battery saver is on then apparently the Motorola software will aggressively reduce power to the USB port which can cause a stuttering effect. The solution is to turn off the battery saver in settings.

Also make sure Tidal is set to "unrestricted" in battery settings. Settings->apps->tidal->battery
 
There is more settings than i realized, together with the devoloper i tried some settings that didn't worked

Here is what worked

Tried increasing buffer size and it worked, it was at min and i guess for big files,streaming high res songs, it wasn't high enough
