Hi. I have a Bartok that I use to stream Tidal using Roon. I upgraded to the new firm ware, I think I moved to a new version of Roon, and now the unit does not recognize MQA. Or, at least when I select an MQA track to stream, it sounds great but the MQA indicator does not display…it stays with F3. I have no idea whether it’s not playing MQA or is but not letting me know. Weird. Any ideas? Thank you!
Welcome to the forum JG!
- Firstly, do you definitely have a Tidal Masters subscription? (Always worth checking)
- Secondly, as Anupc has asked, what album is it you are trying to stream?
- Finally, if you could grab a screenshot of the signal path screen as above, that would be super useful! Either that or simply let me know what each stage of the signal chain reports as.
So I checked and it appears I have the “hifi” subscription level for Tidal. It’s not a good website and it’s not clear to me whether “premium” is required, nor is it clear how I get that if so. I sent Tidal a note. What’s weird is I’ve had the same set up for a year now and it’s played MQA flawlessly, so if something changed I’m not sure what. I do love the streaming world and don’t buy cds anymore, but the old days were easier for the non tech savvy
