Tidal streaming settings

Posted by: jsaudio on 21 November 2017

I have Tidal Hi-Fi level subscription. Under Settings-Streaming-Quality there is a choice Hi-Fi (lossless) and Master(the best audio experience). There are also Sound Output choices.

I use a 272 as streamer pre-amp,NAS with Asset and as such can't play Masters MQA through the Naim app controlling the 272.

Would it be better for me to leave the Streaming setting on Tidal to Hi-Fi or do I derive any benefit to placing the setting on Masters or might that be worse not be able to utilize MQA?What about sound output?

There is another recent thread that suggests none of the naim streamers support the format that tidal masters is presented in
