![]() ![]() ![]() These so-called Tidal Masters are delivered using the MQA format developed by Bob Stuart from Meridian audio thanks to cunning compression, MQA can deliver 24 bit audio at sample rates between 44.1 and 192KHz using only roughly double the data of CD quality FLAC, allowing you to stream them with mobile-friendly bandwidth that’s well below typical high definition audio rates. This gives you a big upgrade in quality over Spotify, but a selection of albums are also available to Hifi subscribers in even higher quality. Meanwhile the Hifi tier costs around $20 per month, but lets you stream all the tracks in CD quality – that’s 16 bit / 44.1KHz using lossless FLAC compression, at bit rates typically between 7Kbit/s. Tidal offers two main subscription tiers: Premium costs around $10 a month and streams music at 320Kbit/s using AAC compression, which is roughly equivalent to Spotify’s Premium service in price and quality.
