It says to go to "What's New" then "Masters", but when I go to "What's New" in the app, there is no "Masters" section.

Can someone see it, and if so where exactly?

Is it accessible through Sooloos and Roon?

I can only see Masters in the Windows desktop app. It's on the home page; the ALBUMS section has tabs for New, Recommended, Top 20 and now Masters.

I don't see this in the Android app or website player and I'm away from my Roon setup.

Found it now, thanks.

The albums listed there, which I have favourited in Tidal before the MQA launch, are still favourited when I view from the Masters page.

I'm hoping this means that they will play bit-perfect through Roon and be decoded to MQA. I'm not at home for a few hours (grrrr) so can't try!

Tidal New
There are 162 albums currently listed in "Masters"
However I have yet to find a reference to MQA.

I have a Premium Tidal account and on first inspection it seems to have upgraded to HiFi.

I use Tidal through Sooloos (not PC or Mac) and this does not yet show or function with latest Masters Albums.

Happy to be guided by others that have this working, or do we have to wait for a Sooloos and or Roon upgrade.

Hi All,

Indeed, it looks like we have Tidal streaming MQA!

However this isn't going to work with Sooloos just yet...
I'm pretty sure Sooloos will need a firmware update before it can handle MQA Tidal streams.

For 818v3, 808v6 owners you'll need to connect a PC to the USB connection and use the Tidal Webpage for now.

More updates as I find out more.

I'm not at home for a few hours, but I've been told it works already through Roon.

You need to install the Tidal desktop application to play the 'Master-Quality' albums (rather than using the Tidal webrowser)

Tidal Applications Download Page

Then login with your account details, and then you can see the 'Masters' are in the 'What's New' 'Albums'.

162 Albums so far

Going into the settings I noticed the Passthrough MQA settings with a disable software decoding of MQA option. I have selected this. Will A/B later!

Cheers
