![]() ![]() That will solve this issue if you use Roon with Node2, by using the MQA Core in Roon instead of in Node2. ![]() And as I have stated already many times, the Tidal Native desktop app MQA Core software decoder is outputting exactly those same songs as 88.2kHz and 96kHz.īTW, soon Roon will release it's own software MQA decoder that will do the first unfold in the same way as the Tidal Native desktop app does. So if this is how you have implemented MQA support on the digital out, this may indeed explain why some MQA titles are (uncorrectly) seen as 44.1kHz or 48kHz when output from the Node2 to my external DAC. exactly the same way as the Tidal Desktop app does. So if I understand this correctly: You are saying that the Node2 will not unfold MQA encoded files on the digital out to 88.2kHz or 96kHz unless the original (MQA encoded) sample rate is 2x higher than that? I fail to see how that is "per MQA specifications", however: My understanding is that, to support 'MQA Core', the Node2 should do authentication and also the first unfold to the digital output (up to 88.2/96kHz). bit-perfect output of MQA to a connected USB DAC, which is what OP is. " MQA files are sent to digital out at half the limit (192=96, 88.2=44.1) as per MQA's specifications." Additional Music Streaming Services, MQA, Tidal Masters, Deezer, Tidal Offline. To enable playback, connect a USB A to B cable between your PC or Mac and the Cambridge Audio network player and select “USB Audio” as the desired digital input through the network players interface.Īlthough we cannot guarantee MQA's Decoders or Renderers will be implemented into future products, we are looking into the possibility of this.Ĭould you please elaborate a bit more on this statement: This will also give access to the Tidal Masters service and access to MQA content, which is currently unavailable through the mobile app. Basically, you can stream your music directly from the cloud to supported third-party devices. The Tidal Music desktop app can also be played from your PC or Mac through a USB Audio connection to your Cambridge Audio network player. What is TIDAL Connect and the benefits of it on Volumio If you haven’t heard of TIDAL Connect before, it is a fairly new feature of the Norwegian music streaming service released back in November 2020. This can still be up-scaled to a superior 24 Bit/384 kHz within the 851N and CXN however. We do not currently have any plans to integrate MQA support into any of our current products as this would require a hardware modification to install a Full MQA Decoder.Īs MQA files are packaged inside any lossless container such as FLAC, WAV or Apple Lossless, this enables them to be played from your PC or Mac via a USB Audio connection to a Cambridge Audio CXN or 851N Network Player even though a Full MQA Decoder is not built into the unit.Īs the Decoder is not built in, these files will not be at their original quality of 24 Bit/96 kHz as the files are compressed to approximately 16 Bit/44.1 kHz. Thank you for contacting Cambridge Audio. Answer from Cambridge, i think it is support only by USB. ![]()
