How to display sample rate, bit depth, and file type on all controllers?

Music Lovah

Hi,

 

I have a node 2i and I am really happy with it. I have Tidal hifi and Deezer hifi subscriptions. I understand there are icons that are supposed to show the type of file and quality being played but it is not exactly useful since they're just icons and they are too generic.

 

I use the Android and Windows desktop controllers. I would like to see the exact file type, sample rate, and bit depth for every song being played. If this is already available somehow, can you please explain where I can find it?

 

If it is not already present, I think this is a really important feature that ought to be added. I have had Tidal hifi for a while but my Deezer hifi account is new. When I use the Deezer desktop app, the sound quality settings don't seem to have any effect according to my Oppo 205 USB DAC. So BluOs could be really helpful in letting us know what we're paying for!

 

I posted this in general because it applies to multiple controllers. I'm sorry if this is not the appropriate subforum.

Thanks.

    Unfortunately, I think the issue is that they care more about soundbar/smart-speaker customers than audiophiles.

    Well, when I read the Bluesound marketing materials they say they cater to audiophiles. It just doesn't seem to be the case.

     

    I do not believe the assertion that customers don't want to see the technical specs, that it is considered clutter. But even if that were true, there could be a UI option to show it all the time, or never show it.

     

    So Bluesound people, how about it? We have been asking for this for three years already. Thank you.

    The same question, how to choose the FLAC in Deezer using Blue sound Node 2?

    You can't choose FLAC with Deezer. If you have the hifi plan you get CD quality, or whatever they have.

    Please add full technical details in the app about what the Bluesound devices are streaming.

    Bluesound in not answering to customers of this thread. I changed device: you can try Wiim Mini or Pro, cheaper and better if you only need digital streaming like me.

    I was excited upon getting my v3 Node and was looking for this exact feature. A quick web search led me here. While it's disappointing the feature wasn't and isn't included, it's fairly outrageous Bluesound hasn't respond to these many, many posts. Fairly or not, my impression of this company I've only recently become a customer of is now degraded. I mean seriously. Even a quick statement saying they have no plans on including this would be better than radio silence.

    Too expensive for the programmers to add features? It’s better to not say anything so competitors won’t copy? The features are coming to v4.0 of BluOS? Nobody cares except a few of us who bothered to post here?

    These speculation or dismay would be negated if there’s a response from BlueSound. Yes, Blursound Team, please respond.

    11 days left. About time... It's very strange that the possibility to get information about streaming quality should be such a big secret. "Fear of cluttering the display" is just bollocks
