Naim app. not upto date with TIDAL
Posted by: orestpsychi on 11 October 2017
MY NAIM APP ON MY MOBILE PHONE DOES'T SHOW THE MASTERS LISTING THAT IS PRESENT ON THE TIDAL APPLICATION ON MY COMPUTER. COME ON NAIM WE'RE BEING CHEATED ON LISTING TO MASTER RECORDINGS.
Orestpsychi, please could you turn off your Caps Lock - it's the equivalent of shouting at people (and consequently considered rude) when you type in Caps. Thanks.
Sorry, caps lock is sticking, didn't know.
You have to use the website to see the MQA files I am afraid, regardless of whether the replay kit is Naim or not.
A way around this is to go to the website and mark the MQA files as favourites - then they will appear in your favourites list on the Naim streamer.
I've just checked the latest TIDAL app and that doesn't have that function either. We can only mirror what the folks at TIDAL do I'm afraid.
Dozey's workaround works a treat. The favourited master album pops up on your home screen.
You will only be able to hear Tidal Masters as intended if you are using an MQA enabled DAC, which no Naim device has, so there seems to be little benefit to identifying them at present. Dozey's workaround works fine, though, just 'favourite' them an the Tidal desktop app.

Or software with the certified decoder built in such as Audirvana 3
DAYJAY where do you get Audirvana 3 software from and how do you install it I have a NAIM ND5 XS audio player.

Audirvana is a music player for Mac. Apparently it now has a UPnP server built in, so you should be able to use it to stream to your Naim streamer.
It is working as intended. "Masters" (aka MQA) won't appear under Naim app becasue Naim streamers are not "MQA Ready". The "workaround" is to save these album in desktop mode and they will appear when you get back the app but the file is likely to be the normal FLAC.
