Audirvana mqa tidal free download
Only 44khz. But all good using Tidal own player. Done all the above mentioned fixes, but no good. Would like to downgrade form version 3. I also have the same problem with MQA and Tidal. Once I updated to 3. Do we have a fix for this? Can we get the 3. Or is this just a way to force us to upgrade to 3. You might be right… licensing thing changed on march 20 something for all platforms and remote… you could ask Antoine.
Audirvana 3. Hi Bitracer, i cannot do that. You can also download a sample MQA file from 2L and see how it works with that. Same exact thing is happening to me since the 3. There have been some changes recently how Tidal works. Have you considered upgrading to 3. Damien3, I have no idea what you mean. No different today. Hi Damien, can you make version 3.
Hi Damien, any update on a fix or the request to get version 3. I know it is a significant feature, and that adding MQA is a selling point, but has Damien actually said that is the reason for it? There are lots of us desperate for other problems to be fixed with the library that I think we have all hoped and expected Damien to have been working on a redesign of parts of the library, leading to v3.
It is unlikely to be as good as full i. Non-lossy-compressed HD, and rally is only a potential benefit where bandwidth is limited: if downloading simply download the unadulterated hi res, and if online streaming full hi res is available, like from Qobuz, then if internet npbandwidth allows stream that.
And as the difference between hi res and red book is far from clear amyway, sometimes one sounding better than the other and vice versa, seemingly more to do with mastering that the actual digital resolution, the whole question is rather murky. Believe the marketing and hype if you wish, but if you really want the best quality you will need to do very careful listening, and even then it could vary from one recording to another…. I sure hope MQA is not the main feature of v3.
My limited understanding is that MQA was designed primarily to allow hi-res streaming with lower bandwidth. Compression can be lossless or lossy. Lossy can be audible or inaudible. Which is the case lies in the ears of each listener. In audio, as in life, there is no free lunch.
I have no doubt people who say MQA sounds better are hearing something different which apparently sounds better to them. These changes are analogous to any other DSP effect that can be used in audio reproduction.
I think of the MQA-induced difference as processing artifacts. Or at best, adding some bass boost, or other processing. If there is any gain at all, it is minimal not earthshaking. In a sense Audirvana and the rest are being black-mailed by MQA. I find all of this ironic. Memory and storage is getting less expensive every month, and there are signs that bandwidth is going to expand greatly in the near future while prices per Gb transmitted are falling.
That being the case, who needs MQA? The real move for me is streaming via Tidal. Warner was the first big music owner to sign on, but now Universal has shown up too – with labels like Capital, Geffen, Verve and many more. I figure Damien can top that any day.

All the instruments are close miked, giving you a more distinct music presentation and more precise – some might see more boring. Russel’s voice is full of emotion and gives me the shivers. The lyrics are about the black cotton pickers in the South of America who gut hung by white people, read about it here: link. And as bad as the story is, as wonderful is the presentation of the sound via AudirvanaPlus.
The atmosphere of the artist and the audience singing is just wonderful, the only thing I miss is that after the track ends, I am used too that the next song is “My name is Luka”…. The soundstage is deeper compared to Roon, though more intimate yet more precise. Just don’t ask me what it was”. Shivers again, real shivers. AudirvanaPlus just goes this little step further than many other players, it just sounds so wonderful and lets you forget that you actually hear computer audio streamed from Tidal or from your hard disc.
And that there also often comes a new software update with even better sound quality and possibilities to play DSD or like now, MQA, is even better.
Please dear readers and lovers of good sound and music, try the 2 weeks free period. Quick as hell, and in my music system, stable as hell too. One night I was dreaming, I was using the Roon interface with the sound of Audirvana.
And do readers of our website really think that there is another software that sounds better than iTunes please be pre-prepared and please do try the free version of AudirvanaPlus. Is it THAT good? Yes, it is, and much, much more if we speak of sound quality. When I listen to some tracks and highlight another song on another album, it takes not a single second to arrive at my ears.
MQA is a new standard in today’s computer HiFi and should not be ignored. You can Google it for yourself, there are thousands of pages to read about this new kid on the block. I will therefore only say that MQA does some magic to even old recordings and it can make albums sound better than their original! How can this be you might ask, a new version of something can never be better compared to the Master tape of the studios. Heureka, now it can. It can remove some digital fingerprint on music!
This is only one example how MQA works under the hood. Thumbs up for this dear Damien – you sure are way ahead of many others some mentioned the California-based Fruit Company? Stuart can be read at: link. And also the streaming service Tidal now streams MQA music. The latter is quite interesting because the music lover maybe doesn’t want to buy every album a second time just because the MQA flag is up. If you subscribe to Tidal 20 Euro a month while speaking you get many MQA coded albums already and still counting.

I agree with all Audiobear said. Streaming of very high-res music is a long way off, and may never happen at all if MQA becomes a standard. But I do find that some of the people with the strongest anti-MQA opinions are those who have never heard it.
It about how much content there is going to be. I look at how much high-res music is actually available today that is higher res than Red Book. And how much of that is actually not just upsampled. The odds of even one quarter of the labels getting on board is extremely low and almost all would have to get on board for it to be worth subscribing.
Personally I think it is too early to judge the sound quality, but what I question is what is the point of it? The only real beneficiaries are the online streaming providers, who will increase their profits because it reduces their bandwidth – for the recipient, only people in just borderline bandwidth areas would be able to stream MQA but not full high res files, and the only difference it makes to downloading is a shorter time per file.
There is a rumour that Highresaudio has pulled out of supplying MQA files because of sound quality issues, but not confirmed see Naim forum.
