Tidal / MQA track specs?
Beantwortet
I'm in a trial period for Tidal and want to understand something.
If I play a FLAC off my NAS the bluesound app with show me tech specs (bit / kHz).
When an MQA is playing it only says MQA and I can't find the actual specs that it's unfolding to. Is this correct? Is it hiding somewhere?
Thanks!

What you are seeing is correct - MQA is whatever the original master recording was. If the original recording was say 24/48 (as much content from the mid-1980s to early 1990s was), the content is not being upsampled to 24/192 just for the sake of adding the 24/192 badge. Upsampling is technically distorting as you are altering the original by adding information that does not exist.

MQA has been perpetually questioned by users and musicians alike, and they have yet to give a straight answer to any public request for comment. I was a Tidal user for about a year, between the UX/UI of the Tidal App and the continued skepticism of what exactly MQA does it is simply not worth the price tag.
Alll signs point to MQA being a classic “snake oil” instance - consider Apple Music or Amazon Prime Music’s lossless libraries to compliment your NAS library
