I have this album in Roon labeled as MQA 96. It plays as 16/44 not MQA and each track is listed as 24\48
In Tidal, the album I have selected is shown as Atmos
Any thoughts would be welcome

Might be mislabeled? Qobuz only has it at 16/44
Clearly mislabelled even down to track level… It’s all Atmos on Tidal.
MQA here, but 44.1/88.2 It’s mislabeled though.
Well, this is weird. Playing on a MQA DAC, it’s not MQA.
What the hell is going on now???
With Lumin native playback (no ATMOS), I got two versions of this album from Tidal:
Me too, but the first one you listed is not what it actually is.
I’m referring to the first track “If it makes you happy”.
Evidently, only one track is 24/44.1 MQA. The others are 16/44.1 FLAC. It’s labeled 24/48 MQA 96. “Everything Is Broken.”
@Chrislayeruk I’m not seeing this in the UK; TIDAL might have cleaned something up. Please would you confirm? Thanks.
(moved to metadata support)
Indeed the track ‘Everything is Broken’ plays as MQA 24/96. The album version I have favourited in Tidal (via Roon) is labeled Atmos in the Tidal app. There is also a 16/44 version of the album in Tidal and Roon.
I don’t think labelling the whole album MQA based on one track is helpful at all. I don’t know if there is a mechanism to avoid this though.
Thanks for looking into it.
Chris, to clarify, I asked you to re-check in TIDAL’s apps. I’m not seeing a single track on any version of the album which is labeled as MQA or Atmos, which suggests that they’ve made a correction/change. This will propagate through to us in time.
Bizarre, not for me .
Related question… what does Roon do with an Atmos track?
It just plays 16/44 CD in this case…
Hmm. I’d like to understand why. Roon isn’t downmixing to 44.1 2.0 (is it?), so is this an alternate stream, or does the Atmos file contain such a stream?
Alternate stream. Not ATMOS.
