Beta Test: TIDAL Hi-Res (i.e. Max)

[Matias]

We're rolling out a firmware update on October 27th to enable Hi-Res (Max) support via TIDAL Connect.

So today is the day. Now waiting for the update icon to show up and make my weekend happier.

 

[Smartplug]

I’m waiting on this update as well.

 

[LBe]

Will I have to change any settings to use the Hi-Res (Max) support via TIDAL Connect?

 

[Smartplug]

Does anyone got the update?

 

[Dejv]

Unfortunately not. What is happening WiiM?

 

[Brantome]

At the risk of repeating myself yet again, the dates that WiiM offer are only just target dates; they’re not written in blood. Plus, it’s long been clear that they are rolled out over several days, if not longer, and also from recent firmware releases that they can take place over a weekend. The release will arrive, please be patient…

 

[Smartplug]

Atlist someone out here got an update or it hadn’t been release.

Relax! The update will roll out once it is bug free

 

[Smartplug]

I don’t think it has been release yet otherwise someone will be saying something here.

Hi Smartplug,

We're rolling out a firmware update on October 27th to enable Hi-Res (Max) support via TIDAL Connect. Additionally, we'll extend this support to In-App TIDAL in early November. Stay tuned for these exciting updates!

Don’t you said that you rolling out a new firmware in October 27th? When we will get that? Thanks

As I said above, these dates are only target dates - for example, WiiM might have hit a bug during the beta testing stage that is taking longer to fix than anticipated. Please be patient - keeping asking when won't make it arrive any quicker...

What looks like another beta version has been made available so what I said above may have been the case
Thread 'Pro FW 4.8.534050'

Edit: might not be be a new beta after all as other non-beta users are getting it, plus my non-beta Pro Plus is currently updating to v4.8.534065

Hi, I just got the update

 

[Youare81]

Wiim mini still no update

 

[Smartplug]

I have full decoder mqa on optical and coax but this new update mqa music that sets to decoder and renderer stuck on 16/44 but when sets to no mqa or renderer it get extend to 96khz. Is decoder and renderer not working? I tried multiple music prior to this update and it get extent to higher numbers.

Wiim mini still no update

I have both pro and mini, pro got update but not in mini.

 

[Matias]

I have upgraded and I am testing now. If I search and play a high res album on the WiiM app, it plays the 16/44 version. But if I search and play through Tidal app into WiiM, it plays the 24/192 version, and I open the WiiM app and it even shows 24/192 alright. So I don't know why I cannot search and play the 24/192 version through WiiM app.

Album is Anna Fedorova - Storyteller.

Because the firmware release states that the update is to provide FLAC support using Tidal Connect, not Tidal through the WiiM app. That should hopefully come in the next few weeks as WiiM have previously stated.

Prior to the update, mqa dac works well no problem everything match dac display on wiim app. Well, this new update with same setting mqa stays 16/44. Ticket submitted.
