Gregory's ServerI'm curious if I could hear the difference between the HiFi and Master song quality on Tidal on my system. I couldn't find any samples on their site...

 @Gargron maybe placebo. I like a neutral sound, but some mild coloration is helpful and seems to make more of a difference. I guess I'm not really a purist. @Gargron Harry Nyquist and Claude Shannon would bet against that. |
@Gargron physically? no. "master" quality generally implies better precision (bit rate = frequency range) and lower noise (bit depth = dynamic range) while applying effects. it produces no audible difference. well, unless you could hear the difference between a jet engine and literally bursting your eardrums.
