Part 1: What is Hi-Res Music?
High-resolution audio, often referred to as 'hi-res', offers music files with higher quality than standard CD audio. It achieves this through a higher sampling frequency and/or bit depth. CD quality is typically 16-bit/44.1kHz. The bit depth measures the amount of information in each sample, with a higher number resulting in a wider dynamic range. The sampling rate is the frequency at which the wave is measured when converting from analog to digital. Higher sampling rates result in more samples being taken, which leads to greater detail resolution in the audio signal.
Part 2: Why Choose Tidal Hi-Res?
Tidal has been a pioneer in high-resolution audio streaming since 2017 when it first introduced the MQA technology. With Tidal, you can experience audio like never before. Tidal ensures the absolute best quality version of any song on the platform, with resolutions of up to 24-bit and 192 kHz.
When it comes to HiRes music streaming services like Tidal, Qobuz, Amazon Music, and Apple Music, Tidal stands out as the clear winner.
