Hello Everyone,
We’re excited to share the latest early access release of Roon and ARC - which now includes support for TIDAL Max!
As many of you know, TIDAL introduced its new flagship Max streaming tier in the summer of 2023. They 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 day has arrived with this early access 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 Max 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 tier content - providing a seamless experience and streaming format consistency across the two platforms.
We’re excited to release this highly anticipated TIDAL Max integration to our early access testers and deliver even more high-quality audio content for your enjoyment in Roon.
Note that some format and version information may be temporarily unavailable or incorrect as updated format information is populated into your library from Roon’s services. Please be patient as we migrate to TIDAL Max, and know that you can always check Signal Path for accurate information about the music you’re playing.
Thank you for reading and your continued support,
The Team at Roon Labs
