@tathastu871 why did you create and close the same issue? Anyways, make sure to check your subscription is premium, and you've set your quality in the settings to lossless or hifi, and make sure that the song you're playing is actually available lossless

[OrfiDev]

to check if you can actually stream the track lossless just play it on the mobile app with lossless enabled

Sir, i have purchased premium yesterday. And track shows hifi when playing in app

[Dniel97]

You need HiFi or HiFi Plus to stream Tidal Masters and Lossless, Premium only gets AAC-LC. You can try a different track and see which quality OrpheusDL is downloading.

@Dniel97 whoops sorry that's what I meant

I have purchased hifi plus subscription

So have you tried different tracks? The track above is region locked so I cannot test that.

I have tried all major tidal downloader, orpheus; tidal-dl, streamrip. But whether its flac or mqa they aren't lossless. Their spectrogram peak at 20Hz (identical to 320kbps encoded songs)

[OrfiDev]

@tathastu871 did you try checking multiple tracks or just one?

[Dniel97]

I used the following link (for my region) to the song you provided: https://tidal.com/browse/track/91858746:

and downloaded in FLAC using the "download_quality": "lossless" and analyzed the spectrogram with SoX:

which looks identical to the Qobuz spectrogram you showed in your first issue, so I will close this issue.

[tathastu871]

whats the trick here. I am playing track on tidal it shows hifi and i shared copy link and used it.

I used different album track for same song

While downloading it says
Codec: FLAC, bitrate: 1411kbps, bit depth: 16bit, sample rate: 44.1kHz

But spectrogram is still the same for 320kbps

@tathastu871 if you recorded what Tidal was playing you'll see the same frequency response, OrpheusDL only downloads the original files the apps get

?? Means

[OrfiDev]

@tathastu871 meaning this is not an issue with OrpheusDL, but rather the specific song you are trying

[tathastu871]

But dniel97 posted he was able to download lossless of same track, then why notmine

Not only this track every song intried to download from tidal are not lossless, whether i use orpheus or streamrip or tidal-dl

[OrfiDev]

[OrfiDev]
