Tidal (Bit Rates) Clarification

Legacy versions Streaming Old Versions

Hi, I just want to clarify the MQA Bit Rates for Tidal.

When I pay a Tidal MQA song the bit rate on the bottom left corner is 16/44.1kHz Stereo FLAC MQA green light. The bit rate going pertaining to the DAC (Yamaha R-N602) is 16/88kHz Stereo Int SysOpt in green.

Firstly, what does this mean?

Secondly, I thought MQA Files were a high bit rate than CD’s?

Thanks Mark

There is multiple version of this Album in MQA, You will find one in 16/44 and another one in 24/192, can you go on Eagles page and try the other version?
