I have a Sonos Connect S2 linked via TOSlink to Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M. I am subscribed to Tidal HiFi Plus..

However, the DacMagic only ever indicates 44.1 kHz , even when playing what Tidal says is a Max resolution track ( Flac or MQA). TIDAL app is set to stream Max.

What is the matter?

TIDAL can only be streamed up to 16-bit/44.1kHz FLAC on Sonos. Sonos doesn’t support MQA.

As has already been noted, Sonos only receives 16/44.1 from Tidal. Indeed you yourself made that observation here.

I really don’t understand this obsession with MQA. By all accounts it’s an “ex-codec” (with acknowledgements to Monty Python).
