Thanks for pointing to Presto and other music sites that list new releases. I found Archiv Music a clear site for classical releases by label, and found two important MQA releases that were very hush hush. One is Karl Bohm the Early Years from their Icon Series. This in MQA offers wartime recordings from 35-47. A Mozart Serenata from 1947 is mastered from a fresh pressing of the original 78. Further, a whole Act 3 of Die Meistersinger from 38 restored from 78s is sounding amazing. The set covers all the major orchestras then BPO, Dresden, VPO etc. I found this title on Archiv Music, but no mention of MQA - could you tell me how to access that format on the site, please? [edit: just seen your post above about cross-referencing Tidal - got it now!]

It's a finnicky process! But so far the rewards have been rich. The Hungarians, their Rasumovsky No 1 sounds newly minted; the Ruzikova Bach is gorgeous in sound, presence and detail, I especially like her accompanied sonata and ensemble pieces. Nothing new since but there's a lot there to get through.
Happy listening!
Off topic - of all the products that could come out during Meridian 40, I wish for a new MSR+. This product is really last decade. Something sexier like Diavalet has would be so cool.

Yes, I saw that but for some reason I can't make any of the MQA Capitol albums stick as a favorite in Roon. Anyone else have this problem?

Great update.
Found The Band, Billy Idol, Crowded House, 'Goldfinger' & 'Live and Let Die', some McCartney, Nat King Cole.
Assume more will 'turn' MQA in due course.

Great finds!
Some album art not showing on Sinatra, though...
Does anyone know if the Mono versions of the Beach Boys are worth having, or would you just default to the Stereo cuts these days?

Scratch that. Roon (unlike Tidal) doesn't show which tracks are mono or stereo on the dual album versions, so I'll stick with the stereo for now.
Is there any way to focus on favourites from a particular Tidal artist in Roon?

I'm having a problem with Sinatra (Strangers in the Night), where it shows as a Tidal favourite in Roon, but when you click on the album it comes up as 'unavailable'.

Actually I can't add any of the Capitol albums to my library. Roon indicates it's done this, when in fact it's not added. Very confusing.

Using the Bluesound app and Tidal I can see which albums are CD and MQA.
Ultimate Sinatra from 2015, This is Sinatra 1956, Sinatra Swingin' Brass are the three I've seen so far that are flagged as MQA.
Hope this helps. Chris
Ohh and one of the Christmas Compilations.
The last Waltz, Rock of ages (Live), Music From The Big Pink, The Band By The Band.

No 18 in the Hall of fame  I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best: GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

I've posted on the support forum at Roon about the non-recognition of these albums as Tidal Favourites. I believe it is a Roon issue, so won't go into it here as it's OT. On topic, I didn't have time to type all the Sinatra/ Beach Boys Masters, so took a couple of screen shots: ![[Linked Image from i122.photobucket.com]](http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o248/james_whitehouse/Beach%20Boys%20Masters.png) ![[Linked Image from i122.photobucket.com]](http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o248/james_whitehouse/Sinatra%20Masters.png)
