![]() Some bands I follow don’t sell digital music, so that leaves CDs for them. For regular once-in-a-while listening Tidal hi-fi and MQA will be fine. That leaves me trying new albums on Tidal, if it’s a very good recording and I like the album a lot, then buy hi-res download as first priority, otherwise CD and rip. The updates bring a plethora of new features, functionality and important security fixes. ![]() Whereas a hi-res download is slightly better than the CD rip. Touchdown Apple iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 have arrived for iPhones and iPads worldwide. After working out how to get the volume right, a MQA stream via the Tidal Mac App is close to the same CD ripped to the Core - but not quite there. I tried streaming the same CD to my Nova via Airplay - it was pants… Then I tried connecting my Mac to my Uniti2 via headphone out to analogue in. I’m on iOS and a Mac, so I’ve tried Tidal MQA via the Mac as it’s not on the iOS App (yet?). Have been running some A/B/C comparisons, so far I have concluded:Ī 96/24 file downloaded and stored to the Core is a little better than the same CD ripped to the CoreĪ Tidal Hi Fi via the Naim App is below the same CD ripped to the Core I’ll use Preview on my Mac to adjust the color and contrast etc., and the size (to ensure Im below 1mb). It seems to me that the best practice is to keep the folder.jpg file to under 1 mb in size.

If an update is available, click 'Download,' and after it does, click 'Update.' Type your passcode if asked. This is the right advice! Download the files, and BEFORE you copy them over to your Core, edit the metadata and the artwork. In the window that appears with information on your iPhone, navigate to General (in Finder) or Settings > Summary (in iTunes). I’d recommend Metadatics, which costs about £10 in the UK. I am actually working on this right now so it will be in the next release. You can add or change the genre, which is often an issue with downloads, and make other changes easily. 1just simply download those versions and add the Melco license that I receive. I would recommend that you get a metadata editor on your Mac which will allow you to check that it all looks OK, including artwork.
