Apart from not being bitperfect If this is the case we will have clipping on some TIDAL tracks.

I thought I heard distorsion on some tracks but wrote it off to being mastered with distorsion as it was tracks from the what's new section in TIDAL.

Could we verify that TIDAL output is bitperfect or not? Any DTS tracks on TIDAL?
