Sure will set it up in about 3 to 4 hrs, once I’m back home & will email you. Thanks.
Solved;
There was a bit of code left behind that eventually required the decoding on the Music Server PC after all.
In the download topic for 2.10 there's now (soon) a 2.10a patch at the very bottom. This will be required on the Music Server PC (only) and only for those who can/could not get the decoding going on the Music Server PC to begin with.
Watch out : The MQA albums of concern must be re-prepared in full for this to work. Thus, delete their folder structure, re-search them and Prepare them.
To be clear, the exhibit without 2.10a for some :
- Albums are Prepared on the Music Server PC (this PC accessing Tidal);
- On the Audio PC now MQA Decoding does not work, while the Audio PC is "modern" as such and contains a fresh install of Windows (say that W10 is always sufficiently modern).
The problem without 2.10a is that the Music Server PC (often running an older or upgraded Windows version) requires MQA decoding, while this is impossible. 2.10a solves this.
Arvind, thank you for holding on !
