LMS only requests/gets 44.1/16 streams from Tidal. These streams are sometimes MQA encoded, for authentication purposes presumably. These will cause the MQA light on my DAC to light up but they are still only CD quality. LMS never gets higher res streams from so you will never see better than redbook when using LMS from Tidal. Interestingly Qobuz does have a few MQA files that will stream bit perfectly and my DAC can decode them as high-res MQA. Of course even if LMS did request/get the high-res MQA encoded stream from Tidal, LMS doesnt have MQA decoding built in so your E30 DAC would never see these as high-res. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pjc8151's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69245 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=116907
