No MQA / Masters Streaming with Tidal Anymore

Oh thank you so much, i hope we can figure out that issue. But i am pretty sure that TIDAL has authentication issues to accept Audirvana as HighRes Master Client. I also tried as direct connection to a DAC via USB and TIDAL still not deliver the Master Album just the 44/16.

Thanks for help @Antoine

Same Issue with Audirvana 3.5

For those having this issue on Audirvāna Studio, we have made a hot fix for this issue, we are however still waiting for a fix for the legacy version from Tidal side:

Hello Antoine,
Audirvana Mac Version 3.5.50 (3580) has been doing the same thing for days, so please don’t fix it just Studio !

@Antoine
You are a genius, thank you so much. The issue is fixed now in Audirvana Studio. Impressive and great job. To ask back, was i right with my thoughts about the problem? It was the authentication process with Tidal, cause Tidal side changed that login at the servers? So Audirvana was not accepted as Master MQA client anymore? I am just curious to know that.

Another question is, will there be a hotfix for Audirvana 3.5 too?

Thank you so much, i really appreciate your great service.

Not really, Tidal made a change on their end for our API access without telling us, we are waiting them to remove what they have done so that any version of Audirvāna works again with MQA on Tidal.

Oh really interesting to know that, thank you. So they have to take that changes back and everything will just work like before. We need just to be patient if it’s fixed by Tidal.

When is the repair ready? I really miss MQA quality! It’s Sunday and I can’t listen to music.
Come on, Antoine
please!

Heya,

The Audirvana team only works on weekdays. So be a bit patient.

You can’t listen to music without MQA? Since when is MQA the only form of music? I agree with @sandsOfArrakis here.
But I also hate to inform you that if you are asking this for Audirvana 3.5 it will probably not be on top of the priority list, because 3.5 is a legacy version and not really supported anymore. Maybe there still will be some bugfixes, but this is basically a problem on Tidal’s side.

read the beginning as well, you can see Studio is also affected by the bug, not just the old version.
I see that this is a communication problem between Tidal and Audirvana, but it is solved between each other.

Yes I read the whole thread. But that does not change the fact that:

  • If a bug is fixed in Studio that does not imply that they will fix it in 3.5 too (because 3.5 is a legacy version).
  • The bug originated at the Tidal side and the Audirvana team is also depending on information from Tidal to fix it.
  • As said earlier by others: The Audirvana team does not work in the weekends, so be patient until monday. In the meanwhile you still can play music albeit not in MQA.

Hello, I am new here and I need the help of the experts. I have Audirvana with Tidal for more than 3 years. I play with a computer (wndows 10 pro), via usb to a nuprime 9h dac. Audirvana always detected the tidal mqa files even though the dac did not decode. They lit up green, blue and changed from 16/44 to 24/96-192 depending on the song. For two days Audirvana has not detected more mqa rows nor has any track exceeded 16/44. My version was 3.5.46, I uninstalled it and installed 3.5.51 and the problem continues. Update the nuprime dac drivers but the problem continues. From Tidal without Audirvana I can play the tracks in Master and 24/96 but not with Audirvana. Any suggestion?

Thanks for the reply. There I read that it is a Tidal problem. I’ll be patient then, with Qobuz it still works well?

Hello everyone, the issue should now be solved for v2, v3.2 and v3.5 users.

Antoine, thank you, it’s already pounding and chirping as usual, great !!!

Yes, it should be solved. Except it’s not. At least not at my ranch in Aotearoa. Playback anomalies with v3.5 and Tidal Masters remain. Should I paste debug info here or remain patient?

Thank you so much Antoine, it works fine here again. 3.5 is playing MQA from Tidal in full resolution and Studio too.

Merci
