And Android

Is there going to be a version of WiiM Home that allows Tidal in the way that the Hires Flac track will be played instead of MQA? or just an option to choose between them?

If the interface Tidal provides to third parties like WiiM allows that then it may be a possibility. Does the native Tidal app allow that? If so, use Tidal Connect. If it doesn’t then it’s very unlikely the WiiM Home app would.

I think that when there is a song in Max quality which has two tracks in it - the one is MQA and the two is HiRes FLAC,
then the HiRes Flac will play by default instead of MQA in the native interface of Tidal Application.
what I am asking is - can be a possibility to choose that if a track includes also HiRes Flac in it, so the WiiM will choose
the FLAC by default?

Tidal Connect to the wiim ought to do this now.
Tidal from within the wiim app does not yet, but willl soon, support high sample flac. When it does, I'd expect it to get the flac track in preference to the mqa track. tbh, don't know if it's a choice wiim has, or just that's what it'll be served by Tidal.

on the mini tidal connect hi res is not yet supported…

Eventually, mini will stop getting feature update as its hardware reach its limit. Pro has long life itself since it has more powerful hardware.

No way. I am testing the beta. Mini got PEQ and I believe it will receive support for years. It is still part of the product line.

I can say it works well on mini...

 

[octavius]

I will wait. I hope it will be soon

 

[octavius]

There must be something wrong otherwise we got hi res tidal flac support for mini...

 

[AssafAviv]

I think tidal must provide a flac only option . If selected the user will receive hi res flac (assuming subscribed in the highest tier ) and if high res flac is not available , he should get cd quality flac

But if some track has only the MQA version, you will miss the hires option

 

[Brantome]

Looks like hi res tidal connect has finally arrived for the mini

 

[octavius]

I already see and testing right now. It work very well. Thanks WIIM for your support!!!

 

[happywiimer]

Works well

Unfortuantely still so much MQA crap being released today - but this is not the fault of WiiM or even TIDAL

It is labels supplying this crap stilll
