TIDAL's online server supplies its MQA supporting client devices with MQA masters tracks at their standard undecoded/distribution resolution of either 24/44.1kHz or 24/48kHz, so should be streamable wirelessly by the LSX. It's one of MQA's MSPs that the MQA client device decodes the MQA file tracks, so saving on the amount of data being streamed over the internet!As well as conventional network audio, the LSX also supports Spotify and Tidal internally. There is no Tidal Masters support, which is a bit of a shame given they are included in the price of the basic subscription. One reason for this is that if you make a wireless connection to the LSX, it will downconvert incoming signals greater than 24/48 to this figure anyway.
Hi Psikey, they look tiny, what size monitors are they in your piccie? They don't suffer not being on dedicated stands then? I was thinking I might just put them on my TV cabinet. Is there a sub you'd recommend, as I'm new to these types of speakers. I'm looking to replace my Q acoustics M4 soundbar which has been good, would these be markedly better? Cheers, Phil.
Great review Ed. I do love the idea of these speakers.
I’ve been investigating them, and can’t find a definitive answer as to whether the sub out has a bypass function for the LSX drivers?
Anyone have any better info’?
Seems not alas
It doesn't matter how good they sound, If the app is not very good with these speakers, then it spoils the whole usability function, an app is very important to access your music.
Dredging this up from the dead since it is the official thread. I spent the best part of an hour today trying to connect WiFi but was eventually forced to give in and plug a LAN cable in. Years later the problem of initial connection and setup exists. Also as well reported upping the volume is also a chore, even using Harmony. The sound is OK once going but the overall experience is not what you expect for a supposedly “luxury” item.Personally don't agree with this in respect to the LSX at least how i've been using them. I used the app for 5 minutes during the initial setup and not touched it since.
Well I guess it all boils down to if you know what you are doing or not. I had no problems setting up at allDredging this up from the dead since it is the official thread.

Just because you had no problems does not mean that others did not. It is widely reported about the instability and poor performance of the original control app and the sluggish unreliable nature of the stream app. The very review this thread is based upon mentions as much about the stream app and it is listed as a "con". The only way I could get mine to reliably connect to my LAN was by using a cable. Go figure!You're talking Bollox mate I had no problems setting mine up. Go figure !
