Hi @Outlaw,

Please see John’s post about this here:

How To Play Non MQA Version?

Hello @ComputerAudiophile, Looking at this copy of Space Oddity on Tidal, it appears to be a 16/44.1 MQA release. For 16/44.1 MQA content, toggling between “HiFi” and “Master” in Tidal will not result in a different file being pulled from Tidal’s servers. The Tidal streaming quality setting does not take “MQA” into account, it only controls the maximum bit-depth/sample rate of the files it will pull from Tidal’s servers. From what I can deduce from playing with the Tidal app, selecting “HiFi”…
