Download Tidal MQA & HiFi Music for Offline Playing


People are impressed with Tidal Master/Max (or high resolution) quality audio which is the only format that pledged to maintain the original master recording – exactly as the artist intended the track to sound. And Tidal's MQA technology delivers studio-quality music without compressing the audio file or requiring huge data transfers. The Tidal HiFi/High sound is the second-highest which is a popular potential destination for CD quality. In comparison, Spotify's 'superb' quality streams at 320 kbps, and Apple Music's AAC plays at 256kbps.

However, Tidal MQA is app-dependent while Tidal HiFi Music is both app and web player-compatible. When listening to a mobile application, like iHeart Radio, for example, you can listen to music anytime, anywhere for free. Once you step outside the realm of an internet connection, however, you are now listening to free music on your limited mobile data. But if you have run out of data on your mobile device, you will not be able to use any mobile application offline. So how to truly download Tidal MQA and HiFi Music for stable offline playing? Let's step into this guide for the most perfect solution.
