I can't get any of the new Universal MQA albums into my Roon library. Marking them as a favorite puts them in Tidal favorites but they don't make it to Roon. FWIW they play fine on my PC with my EP2 indicating MQA.

Glad to say that the way I use Tidal "Blue Star" favourite here works with Sooloos.
However I have no intention of adding Tidal albums to my local library.

This solution is not ideal as refreshing of Tidal Favourites (in Sooloos) by Album is a real pain as you have to add page by page every time you add new albums. Surely the Sooloos guys at M could get this to refresh with one button press for complete Tidal favourite album inventory.

Thanks to Richard (RGraham) for the info it is great to get Stage Fright in MQA.

I started a thread on the Roon forum, Strange behaviour with Tidal Capitol Masters, perhaps you'd like to post your experiences too as they seem very similar?

Few more discoveries...

In order of release date:

Julie London
Glenn Campbell ('Witchita')
Minnie Riperton
Iggy Pop ('Idiot', 'Lust for Life'!!!)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Thanks again Richard keep posting

As Capitol are part of Universal, I took a wider look, and it seems 'none shall sleep' though not all in a good way.

So the Universal classical catalogue trickles out, including so far:

Zubin Mehta 'Turandot' (with famous Pavarotti version of 'Nessun Dorma' and a superb recording.)
Karl Bohm 'Tristan', 'Zauberflote', 'Pastoral'
Kleiber 'Traviata'
Karajan 'Tosca' (with Price), 'Heldenleben', 'Eroica', 'Ninth'
Solti 'Aida', Mahler 8
Bernstein 'Fidelio'
Loads of Netrebko, Ashkenazy, Pollini

But there are maddening aspects...so...fanfare...

Georg Solti 'Der Ring des Nibelungen', but no 'Walkure' yet!!!!
Karajan 'Das Rheingold' & 'Gotterdammerung' but not the other two!

It's not like we can get the MQA versions elsewhere.

No doubt more will appear, including most of those already released in Hi Res, will keep posting...

Richard

Thanks for all this, Richard, really appreciated! All these are some of my favourite artists and recordings!

A little maddening that Roon chooses these to play silly beggars with, as I have no other way to play them through the main system right now.

So hard to get a system that works to find the good stuff.

Remembering the summer of '77 when the No. 1 may have changed the course of music...

Classic Donna Summer now in MQA; 'I Feel Love' included.

Otherwise for classical enthusiasts:

All recent Barenboim Elgar, Benjamin Grosvenor, and some good Uchida, Kaufmann.
Classic 'Rigoletto' and 'Peter Grimes'
Tchaikovsky from Ivan Markevitch, Gergiev and Semyon Bychkov
Dvorak and Bartok from Ivan Fischer
Lovely Haydn from Accademia Bizantia.

Enough for now, but quite a step forward for MQA.

Richard

Lovely, thank you! That's my evening sorted going through and favouriting those!

I'm able to add the Capitol albums to Roon from Tidal. Seems to be working fine.

Ken

So has it fixed itself, or were you having problems with different albums?

Older Rush is out now!

Oh yeah, and so is "the hottest band in the world, KISS!"
