[QUOTE="jvr, post: 1172025, member: 15634"] Just for the record (now that I have subscribed to Tidal again), one can access your Tidal library directly via BubbleUPnP and cast Max files in hi-res (up to 24 bit 192 kHz). It also shows which songs are authentic hi-res ("H"), and which are not (the CD quality files that had the MQA "Master" treatment that Tidal still shows as Max). And it also reflects the actual bit / kHz value of each song during playback. But, one can not access downloaded songs from this portal. You have to open the Tidal app to do that and then use the BubbleUPnP's audiocast function to play them. And this function converts everything to either 16/44,1 or 16/48. Tidal on Android TV box still does not feature hi-res "Max" flac, only Master (and CD quality) which is played back as a first unfold limited to 24 bit 48 kHz (as per the DAC info). But the audio quality sounds inferior to BubbleUPnP, it does not have the same depth, almost as if it is lossy. [/QUOTE]
