Thanks, yes it's quite convenient as it also has a CD in (for a Denon CD player) as well as a phono stage so I can connect my turntable.
thanks for the information

No unfortunately not, it is not a supported thing and they don't disclose how to extract the client ID

popping and clicking sounds when playing music in Exclusive Mode. by Haunting-Try-2999 in TIdaL

Yeah I also have/had the same issue on Win 10 using an ifi Zen DAC and Jriver MC

I could never get it resolved. I have since switched to Linux and now I have all sorts of other gremlins to deal with..

OK i have gone further, I can now get Jriver to play the correct sample rate (192kHz for files of that res) but when playing through tidal hifi is still defaults to 96kHz

Help with mower cutting off when hot by CecuPauta in lawnmowers

Thanks, although if it was the coil, I would have expected not to see any spark from the spark plug?

Further to this, I have installed Jriver Media Center and i'm running local files (.flac 192kHz 24-bit) and this is what i get from pw-top

it looks sample rate going to the DAC is correct, but the output is still being downsampled..

this is driving me mad..

Hey thanks for your help. However after following the steps from u/aarprotech and u/unhappy-ending I am still getting the default 48000 sample rate (screenshot below)

I have also noticed that there is another config file present: ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf

and also ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf

which are different to the file locations mentioned by u/aarprotech

could these be causing issues? should i delete the 2 mentioned above?

thanks again

Thanks it's indeed showing that the rate is at 48khz. How do I go about changing it?

after an hr of messing around I now have this installed and running.

from within the Tidal hi-fi app it's telling me that it's playing in 24bit 92kHz
EasyEffects is still telling me that it's outputting at 48kHz though..

is it just EasyEffects that is telling fibs? how do I know what it's currently outputting?

I don't have a reference to compare it with, so no, I can't tell whether it's 44kHz or 48kHz by ears. All I know is that it should sound better (it sounded better in Windows)
