Yes, Tidal supports high-resolution (Hi-Res) audio. Tidal’s HiFi Plus tier streams music in Hi-Res audio, up to 24-bit/192kHz.
Hi-Res audio has a higher bit depth and sample rate than CD quality audio. This means that Hi-Res audio can capture more of the original sound quality of the music recording.
To experience the full benefit of Hi-Res audio, you will need to have a high-end audio system that can support Hi-Res audio playback.
Here are some of the benefits of Hi-Res audio:
- More detail and clarity: Hi-Res audio can capture more of the detail and clarity of the original music recording. This means that you will be able to hear more of the instruments and vocals in the music.
- Wider soundstage: Hi-Res audio can create a wider soundstage, making the music sound more immersive and realistic.
- Deeper bass: Hi-Res audio can produce deeper bass, making the music sound more powerful and impactful.
If you are an audiophile and you have a high-end audio system, you may want to consider Tidal’s HiFi Plus tier to experience the benefits of Hi-Res audio streaming.
However, it is important to note that not everyone can hear the difference between Hi-Res audio and CD quality audio. It depends on your hearing and the audio equipment that you are using. If you are a casual listener or you do not have a high-end audio system, you may be just as happy with Tidal’s HiFi tier, which streams music in CD quality.
Here are some tips for listening to Hi-Res audio on Tidal:
- Make sure that your audio system supports Hi-Res audio playback.
- Set your Tidal audio quality settings to HiFi Plus.
- Choose a Hi-Res audio album or playlist to listen to.
- Sit back, relax, and enjoy the music!
