Just been emailed to tell me I’ve been upgraded to hi fi quality. Just started listening now to see if I notice an improvement. I think this was predicted, after the Amazon music deal?
At a lower subscription rate? I currently pay £20 a month for 'hi fi' .....Just been emailed to tell me I’ve been upgraded to hi fi quality. Just started listening now to see if I notice an improvement. I think this was predicted, after the Amazon music deal?
Yes it is £9.99 pm now. They should have reduce your subscription. Check your subscription on the Tidal site.At a lower subscription rate? I currently pay £20 a month for 'hi fi' .....

If you're on the £9.99 HIFi Tier then you won't get MQA (if that's a concern) and you won't get Direct Artist payment, whereby 10% of your subscription goes to your most listened to artists. I quite like that idea. Dolby Atmos is also abilable. For these you need HiFi Plus, which is £19.99 pm.Yes it is £9.99 pm now. They should have reduce your subscription.

I thought some Tidal albums were only available as MQA? To be honest MQA puts me off Tidal.If you're on the £9.99 HIFi Tier then you won't get MQA (if that's a concern) and you won't get Direct Artist payment, whereby 10% of your subscription goes to your most listened to artists.

Yes, that's an interesting question on 'only MQA',albums. If these albums are available on the HiFi Tier then are they separate FLAC files, or 'downsampled' versions of MQA? MQA is just trouble all around, imo. I much prefer Qobuz. I have both with Roon at present, although working to transfer Tidal favourites to Qobuz where poss, with a view to ditching Tidal. I do like the concept of artist direct; it does seem like a way to know where some of my subscription goes. Needs further research though.I'm on HiFi tier and get AA at the moment, not bothered about MQA really.

Direct artist payment is coming in next year.
Yes I agree about MQA. So presumably Mqa will be getting a lot less plays in the future.Yes, that's an interesting question on 'only MQA',albums.

You get playback that is (objectively) slightly worse than CD quality. How audible this may be is up for debate but it's unnecessarily degrading quality as far as I'm concerned, whilst being marketed on the basis of improved quality.Surely if you don't have an mqa compatible DAC, these will play as normal? If not, what happens to them?
It’s good but is going to the artist or the record company? About half of my artists have passed away anyway.It's about time they got their prices more in line with others.
I mostly stream from local storage but use Tidal for my online streaming needs as I get 75% off as part of my Third Man Records Vault. I try to avoid MQA so the only real change here for me is that they're going to pay more to the artists I actually listen to, which is great, and something that should be standard practice across the industry.
