TIDAL Desktop Application or Chrome Browser?

Hello,

Looking for opinions regarding the desktop application or Chrome browser as to which one you believe has higher SQ, or if you find them to be the same?

Thanks!

I know you used to need Chrome to get 16/44. Am not sure if the desktop application gives 16/44. When 16/44 is playing the HIFI logo at the bottom of the screen is brite white. If not 16/44 it is grey

You don't want to play it through your browser.  Best is a 3rd party player.  I use a squeezebox transporter.

The biggest issue with Windows playback is the driver settings and digital mixer. If your player software gets around that, I’m sure it’s better.

I use a Squeezebox in one room and a dedicated Linux PC in another.

The Oppo BluRay players are also very convenient Tidal players.  Actually I like Oppo for the Tidal UI. Much better than Squeezebox.
