I am a bit confused where we stand in this discussion: the goal is to
have the Tidal streaming bit-perfect to stay mqa enabled, so a capable
DAC is able to unfold etc, right?
I tend to agree with the conclusion that for Tidal streaming the plugin
seems to be the limiting factor.
A local mqa file at least sounds very ok on my mqa capable dac, and
samplerates and identifiers all show as what would be expected for
hi-res mqa files and normal res mqa files that are indeed place locally
on the server.
Some looking around seems to show that on kodi a plugin is available
that allows tidal streaming and one code change seems to imply that for
mqa enable streams, a different authentication id ("Use a MQA-Enabled
client_id to enable MQA") is additionally needed. (maybe need to take
some time to install a kodi with that plugin to further investigate that
route)
If that is true, the question can become: is this client id used, a
"borrowed" one (such as the tidal-connect certs from ifi seem to float
around), or is it maybe (and hopefully) easy for @MHerger to maybe
obtain such an id from Tidal, so that also mqa enable streams become
available?
