Hello Everyone,
We’re excited to share the latest release of Roon - which now includes support for TIDAL Max and restores offline functionality in Roon!
As many of you know, TIDAL introduced its new flagship Max quality tier in the summer of 2023. TIDAL rolled out support for up to 24bit/192 kHz high-quality FLAC streaming to their native apps first, with integration for third-party app partners, like Roon, projected for late 2023.
Many of you have been quite excited to see TIDAL Max become available in Roon, and we’re pleased to announce that the day has arrived with this release! Roon now provides access to the same high-quality content offered by TIDAL’s native applications but with all the added features you love about Roon. If you’re a TIDAL HiFi Plus tier subscriber, you’ll receive the same high-quality streaming content through Roon that was previously exclusive to TIDAL apps.
Roon has worked closely with TIDAL during integration to ensure parity with their treatment of Max quality content - providing a seamless experience and streaming format consistency across the two platforms.
In other welcome news, we’ve removed the internet requirement that was first introduced with Roon 2.0. Roon will now function without an active internet connection, consistent with Roon 1.8 and earlier build behavior. For more details on these changes and more, click this link.
We’re excited to provide highly anticipated TIDAL Max integration to deliver even more high-quality audio content and restore features that enhance your enjoyment of Roon.
Thank you for reading and for your continued support.
The Team at Roon Labs
