Tidal showing 16/44 when higher bit rates present?

Roon Software Discussion TIDAL

I’ve noted a few Tidal titles indicate they are 16/44 (non MQA) but show as higher bit rates on external DACs. Wondering if this might be a Tidal issue (with the info they feed Roon) or a Roon issue?

For example, relatively new release of Lucas Debargue Scarlatti Sonatas - Tidal version shows 16/44 in Roon, but DAC indicates 96. Qobuz version is also HiRes, so I’m inclined to believe the Tidal one is as well?

Hmmm, thought this might get a response from the Roon team. There are very clearly Tidal releases indicating a lower bit rate in Roon than is playing through the DAC.
