  1. Hi, all: I'm having an issue with Amarra sQ when used with TIDAL. Playback always starts out just fine, but after ten minutes or so (or after a pause and then restart of a stream) I start to get noise - a static click, not entirely unlike static noise you get from vinyl. Here's my setup: Early 2012 Retina MacBook Pro - TIDAL via Google Chrome --> Amarra sQ --> optical to early model Benchmark DAC1. Here are some things I've noticed: TIDAL via Chrome works perfectly on its own without Amarra sQ. No static, stutters, or dropouts. Amarra sQ seems to work perfectly with anything other than TIDAL. No problems whatsoever when using it with Spotify, for instance. When I start to hear noise using TIDAL, I can flip the output device sample rate from 44.1 to 96 in Amarra sQ (or vice versa), which will resolve the issue for a few minutes before it starts back up again. I suspect the problem lies with Amarra sQ, since I don't have a single problem with TIDAL when I use it by itself (but I really like the way sQ sounds when it isn't noisy!) Internet speeds should not be an issue; speed tests consistently show +50MB (and I have a gigabit LAN.) I wonder if the problem might be somehow related to using Chrome? My understanding is that there is (or was) a native Mac TIDAL app, but it's not available for download (their support site says it was taken down.) Any thoughts y'all have would be appreciated! --BeeEss
