It does seem though that most (not all of course) of their customers are happy enough with the mainstream services streamed using AP / CC, and at the qualities those transmit at. Yes the conclusion is about right - B&O should support better the higher quality music services, especially when it counts 30 and 60k pound speakers amongst its range. I hope this helps! I certainly learned a lot. I remain shocked B&O does not design its software to allow for best possible sound quality in this manner. If B&O natively supported TIDAL, using Airplay (2) would be unnecessary and the best sound possible would be available. Thus, for the BL17, 18, 20, the highest quality music cannot be streamed via Airplay (2) and is capped at 96/24 on the RCA, Toslink and Powerlink connections. Something like a Bluesound Node 2i supports TIDAL natively and can output over Toslink at 96/24 or over RCA at full 192/24 but since my BL17 cannot process such a high resolution anyway, I will just use the Toslink connections. To play music at max resolution and bitrate, I must use a streamer that has native support for TIDAL (or Qobuz, etc) and does not require me to use Airplay (2). Since BeoSound Core does not natively support TIDAL, I must send TIDAL music from my iOS device to the Core via Airplay (2) and Airplay (2) will downconvert my TIDAL MQA music. BL50 and 90 can accommodate 192/24, which is full MQA resolution. In hopes this helps someone else on the forum with a similar question, I shall explain what my research has shown me.īeolab 17, 18 and 20 can only deal with 96/24 at most. (Also a plug for suggesting B&O incorporate native support for TIDAL and Qobuz in their app!) Can anyone confirm? Can Airplay (2) stream the hi-rez music from TIDAL in the best quality possible and can the Core process such a feed via AirPlay (2)? Thank you! I wonder if I am getting the best quality audio possible over Airplay (2). Unfortunately, the B&O app does not have native support for TIDAL as it does for, for example, Spotify so using only my iOS devices and the gear mentioned, this is the only way I know of to get TIDAL to my Core. I have the app set to stream Master quality audio over WiFi. I open the TIDAL app on my iPhone or iPad and then connect to my BeoSound Core via Airplay (2). To listen to MQA-quality music I stream from TIDAL Hifi. John at B&O Manchester is totally right-the 17s are underrated such great bass!). I have a BeoSound Core driving a pair of Beolab 17s (which I love, by the way. I’ve been lurking on the forum for a long time but this is my first post.
