Hey George, thank you !
For others : what you see below I still had on-screen, so yes, indeed that.
... But I may miss the point of what you are trying to bring across ...
In any event the files as how they will be on your HDD do not contain the data to "be" HiRes. Look at the files sizes in my previous post. The top part of the two lists is close to twice the size of the bottom part; the bottom part is just 16/44.1 (the top part 24/48).
For more reference below a screenshot of a "local" genuine album in FLAC with slightly worse FLAC compression.
So, despite of what you wanted to bring across, I see that the Tidal app upsamples just as the MQA prescription has been (thus not only for Roon and Hardware, but also for the Tidal app itself).
We are all hoaxed, and it is my estimate that some pay extra for that as well (my subscription still costs 19,99 for "Hires").
Super thanks !
Peter
