Hey everyone. At the risk of repetition, I wanted to add my (personal) tuppence worth here.

It’s clear that TIDAL is not currently going to give us a choice when it comes to the priority of MAX formats streamed when they have *both* PCM and MQA. In other words, it’s:

"HiRes" FLAC -> MQA (of any kind) -> CD quality FLAC -> Lossy

It appears that they *are* monitoring demand for MQA vs. FLAC preference (and vice-versa -- there are those who would prefer CD quality FLAC to MQA of any kind).

So if you have a preference for MQA, please email them at support@tidal.com (or submit a request at https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) simply saying that you consider MQA to be the higher quality format and you would like to be able to prefer MQA over HiRes FLAC.

The more people who do this, the more likely we’ll actually get a choice.

Thx.
