Just wondering if it can support tidal hifi bitrate/frequency
Thanks
Thanks
Can Chromecast audio handle Tidal hifi bitrate?
- Thread starter nightrider1470

chromecast can handle it
but whether the hifi 96/24 stream is actually sent to it from tidal hifi maybe another story - I only use the analog output on CCA.
Not all the tracks can be 96/24 if they only came from CD's anyway. (do they upsample 44.1/16 before flac encode - lol)
There are supposedly some MQA benefits (some unwrapping) even for those without full MQA hardware decode playing back on local soundcard though.
local pci dac I use sounds better, but that maybe because it is a better quality dac.
There are some better quality CCA power supplies too, or a maybe a battery usb

If Carlsberg did posts!
I will be sending via my phone, does Chromecast audio use wifi? I hope I'm not limited to Bluetooth on my s7 edge
