Tidal adds hi-res audio streams with 'Tidal Masters'

Music streaming service Tidal has announced that, starting TODAY, it will be providing MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio to subscribers of the Tidal HiFi package at no extra cost.

Tidal HiFi account owners can upgrade their account (for free) with the tick of that new "HiFi / Master" option in Tidal's settings menu and stream from "more than 30,000" MQA encoded tracks. Right now.

I asked Aurender if they support this new feature.    I wonder if Roon supports this new Tidal feature. This is very cool with more than 30,000" MQA encoded tracks. Right now!!!!

As per the Tidal web site:

To use Master, you need to have a TIDAL HiFi account.

The Master audio playback quality is ONLY available in the TIDAL desktop application.

@shadorne, Whoops, this was my error and you are correct.  I saw the words “January 5th” and thought it was today and did not see the year.  I apologize for my error.  I thought that Tidal has added an additional 30,000 songs more than what is already available. 

Please ignore my incorrect post.  I wonder if Audiogon can delete it.
