TIDAL MQA support goes Mobile for Android Users
The latest from CES in Las Vegas sees high-resolution streaming audio’s 900-pound gorilla – TIDAL – announce MQA support to their Android App to “Deliver studio quality sound on the move.”
I don’t think it’s inflammatory to say that I want it all and I want it all on my smartphone. Well, at least an Android OS-enabled smartphone… iPhone users (like me) will have to wait a while longer before they can do the TIDAL/MQA dance on their devices, no hard date available, so it’s TBD. "The latest version of the app now features a Core Decoder. MQA Core: The first unfold of the Origami recovers all the direct music-related information and makes it available for either analogue or digital output at 88.2 or 96 kHz."
In an increasingly networked world that is seeing fewer and fewer (literal) strings attached to both our cloud-based visual and audio content – of particular interest to me is the no-strings high-quality audio content – I must say that I’m heartened to hear that more high-resolution options are available to consumers on one single device, rather than having to choose multiple devices to access disparate online music formats for listening.
While MQA continues to be a lightning rod for some in the high-fidelity industry and in the hobby as a whole, I’ve no such axe to grind and welcome all formats to the fold, especially if they can offer sonic benefits. But as always, YMMV. As for TIDAl/MQA support for Apple, I’ll wait patiently.
Press Release Highlights
TIDAL Masters is now available on all Android smartphones, so you can experience studio quality sound with TIDAL Masters wherever you choose to listen.
Global music and entertainment platform, TIDAL, first announced its partnership with MQA at CES in January 2017, after integrating MQA’s award-winning technology into its TIDAL HiFi tier on desktop. MQA captures, packages and delivers the original sound, at the highest quality, and in a file small enough to stream. With the latest update, the TIDAL Android app will now include the MQA decoder.
