Smooth upgrade to MC200.
Registered and added Tidal easily.
Surprised at sound quality. Even found some recordings that sound better than ripped CD... Hmmm maybe remastered versions of the tracks I own?

Compared some Claire Martin tracks to 24/96 Linn hires downloads of hers that I own. Not as much difference as I would have thought. Hires better but subtle. Also compared a compressed Linkin Park track to the Tidal version. Noticeable improvement with Tidal (as anticipated).

So far so good, but had first Sooloos glitch. Refused to play some high res downloads (no sound but play counter incrementing). Tried several times with no sound. Never experienced this before this version. Then tried another track then switched back and all was OK again. Hoping that doesn't repeat!

Tidal search is basic but it works. I even found my friend Kerenza Peacock's new album of composer Oliver Davis's latest work 'Flight' on it already. Of course you should all go and buy a copy not just stream it wink

So yes Des, these developments are contributing to my enjoyment by opening up new musical horizons without resorting to compromising on quality. Roll on MQA.

Various from vintage to SE
