IPHONE NOW SUPPORTS MQA - GETS TIDAL MASTERS
Following the recent Tidal and MQA announcement for Android, Master quality tracks are now available via iPhones.
The eagerly awaited update to Tidal's iOS app follows the Android news that was announced at CES in January.
With Tidal Masters playback now accessible on both iPhones and Android smartphones, as well as desktop and connected devices, studio-quality sound can be experienced wherever you are.
Mike Jbara, MQA CEO, told StereoNET:
From our ongoing work with engineers and artists, we know the importance creators place on delivering the original sound they created all the way to the music fan. Through our global partnership with TIDAL, this becomes a reality wherever you're enjoying your music.
Lior Tibon, Tidal COO, added:
Bringing music to life, just as the artist intended, is a core value of the Tidal platform and we couldn't be more excited to finally bring master quality music to both major mobile operating systems.
MQA has partnerships with all three major record labels, as well as with Merlin, representing the independent label community, and the Tidal Masters catalogue continues to grow, covering new releases and catalogue recordings.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
