Maybe is not an error. As I know from last year when I used Tidal this service has also video content wich can be played with their native apps, Audirvana plays only audio wich is poor quality for these files.
Roon and mconnect play this CD correct
Why are the files lossy? And even 96kbps?
Edit:
Or is that because this is the audio stream of a video file?

Have you tried to disconnect and reconnect your Tidal account?
Install Tidal app. It’s a good idea to have Tidal/Qobuz apps installed even for debugging purposes, to check with them. Are you sure is not an audio album that contains a video file? Check that file with Tidal app, I think is the best test. Before subscribing to Audirvana I made some playlists in the Tidal mobile app with mixed content (audio/video). Audirvana plays video files as audio and shows like in your picture.
Understand. Sorry I didn’t help you.
I found an post from 2018 mentioning Audirvana does not support AAC+.
AAC is no problem.
Could this be something?
What ever the problem may be 96kbps is not anywhere near acceptable for a paid service.
Probably not when he recognized Antoine correctly.
I can confrm just for mp3 codec. Here is the link:
https://codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_full.htm
It is a good idea to have installed even if don’t solve the problem. Along with VLC and AS are the only players that I use. And Qobuz app. And iTunes just rarely for an old iPod and also for codecs. Never WMP.
I tried both lossless and master
It seems that if you fill out this survey you can indicate that an album is not available in the desired quality.
https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1888513/TIDAL-Music-Request
On Qobuz it is available in cd quality.
Does this album is the only one in this case or all of the album you see in Tidal have the same behavior?
