Ah, I've had to look up your user profile to search your previous posts on other threads to find the reference to streaming from TIDAL using the 'MiND app' & the mention of the 'MiND 2' - here:
Are you Roon ready? post #37
You did not say that in
this thread - hence the confusion!
Sorry, I'm not psychic, though I did suggest you try using the 380d's MiND streamer module to stream from TIDAL, so who knows?
Ok, so you
are already using the DAC's (older) MiND streamer module to stream from TIDAL with the MiND Controller app. I did not know there was a new version of the MiND streamer module that can decode MQA files. That explains why you can access TIDAL's MQA file tracks using the same MiND Controller app - though Simaudio should have prevented the MiND Controller app from (incorrectly) allowing TIDAL MQA file access for the older non-MQA decoding MiND module to avoid this sort of confusion.
Since your DAC's older MiND module does not support decoding MQA, you cannot really expect it to decode MQA files to show 96kHz on the DAC's display, even when it can access them accidentally from TIDAL with the MiND Controller app. The best you can do for it is run an application that can access TIDAL's MQA files, decode them to the up to 24bit/96kHz MQA Core (aka 'first unfold') and allow that to be streamed by the MiND Module. The only software I know of that should be able to this is Audiirvana Plus (I mentioned earlier), which you can install on your Macbook.
