TIDAL "Master"? Is this MQA on TIDAL?
nightenrock replied to miguelito's topic in Networking, Networked Audio, and Streaming
I'm running the Tidal Hi Fi app from a Mac Mini into a Mytek 192 DSD. Everything I play through the Tidal App shows as 192K on the Mytek. When I try to play the files through the Audirvana Plus App's Tidal interface, they load painfully slow and only play at 24/48. Man, this is frustrating. I'd like to know what quality files are being passed through to my DAC from Tidal. Is there no way of knowing? I assume it is taking over the DAC and upsampling things to 192, right? I have Tidal set to exclusive mode. -
I just finished successfully ripping and converting 235 of the 236 SACD albums I have (thank you, Ted and Jason!). The one that will not convert is McCoy Tyner with Stanley Clarke and Al Foster on the Telarc Jazz label. When I go to convert the ISO, I get the following message: libsacdread: Can't read Master TOC. I've seen this post, but that's for a PC. Any tips for a Mac user like me?

This indeed worked. Thanks, Ted!

Thanks, Synfreak and Ted. I'm not at home right now, but when I am, I will try leaving it for around 20-25 minutes to see if it rips them. If not, i might take you up on the older build of the ripper package, Synfreak.

I just started ripping my collection of about 240 SACDs last weekend thanks to Ted's fabulous guide and a machine from Jason at northeastohiopcs. So far I've ripped maybe 30 SACDs and a handful so far seem to be unrippable. What happens is that when I go to click "OK" to begin ripping the machine just freezes. I'll try restarting again and again and for those discs I get the freeze. Is there a list of unrippable SACDs? So far I know these will not rip for me: Billy Joel - Stranger (Sony SACD) Billy Joel - 52nd St (Sony SACD) Issac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul (MFSL SACD) PS: If this has been covered, I apologize, I tried searching to no avail. Thanks!

I'm curious about this as well. Thanks, Ted. I've been been ripping my first discs tonight with a machine from Jason at northeatohiooptics.

Downloading a could of albums from Pro Studio Masters and they are downloading at about 0.1 mbps. I ran a speed check and things are normal on my end. Does anyone have experience downloading from them? Is this their normal speed? Unfortunately I accidentally downloaded them as AIFF, so they're taking forever.

I'm actually guessing that the label will be providing HDTracks with fresh 24/96 version of it.
-
I can't imagine the labels providing separate masterings to different stores.
-
100 bucks says that the 24/88 highway 61 will eventually be re-released on HDTracks at 24/96.

HD Tracks Ordering and Checkout ?

Their site is such an absolute piece of total garbage now. I get excited to buy something from them every now and then, go to their site, fuss with it, get frustrated and leave without making a purchase. They must be losing tons of cash. They'd be better off reverting to their old, functioning site.
