FAQ
What is HiFi sound?
HiFi sound on TIDAL delivers large and uncompressed audio files by utilizing the format FLAC to stream lossless audio, making for a truer listening experience.
What's the difference between HiFi and Masters?
HiFi audio is a superior sound but is still limited in its resolution—44.1 kHz /16 bit. TIDAL has partnered with MQA to deliver something substantially better: an authenticated and unbroken version (typically 96 kHz / 24 bit) with the highest possible resolution—as flawless as it sounded in the mastering suite. And exactly as the artist intended it to sound.
Do I need to use a DAC while listening to TIDAL in Master quality?
While TIDAL on iOS and Android can unfold part of the audio source natively, allowing for an enhanced listening experience by default, using a DAC will unlock its full potential and give you optimal performance.
