Feature Requests
Contemplativus:
I am using lossless audio sources like Tidal (classical + jazz, also with some "Master" records wich is MQA).
Tidal's native player doesn't make optimal audio quality, neither on PC nore on Android, there are some player with Tidal integration with markedly better audio quality (Roon, Kodi, BobblePNP, beeing Sennheiser's CapTune on Android the best quality). Even VLC produces a more detailed and refined sound than Tidal player itself with playback of 24bit depth flac files.
(Tidals issues could involve flac-decoder, resampling issues, ?)
One request would be to have direct streaming service integration with JRiver. Setting JRiver's WDM alone wasn't enough to straighten out this handicap of Tidal.
While MS22's WDM is a great concept and the implementation is functioning, I think there is also left a room for improving the sound quality by using more PC-resources on more advanced HW (like the recent i7 processors). (Someone above has pointed out bad THD measurements with WDM by which I could see my judgement full confirmed.)
Possible targets for revising the audio quality could be explicit filter choice options with parameter setting for DSD conversion (also an excellent concept in MC22).
Example for some basic implementation is foo_dsd_asio, for a more complete one is HQP (the latter being also a good example for an unusable GUI.)
Contemplativus:
Albeit mentioned, but MQA capabilities would be a separate request.
MQA - not only the usual feature to pass on to MQA to DACs with MQA capabilities in bitperfect manner, but to include a true HiFi quality conversion of MQA Sources to ordinary DACs.
Also include MQA->DSD conversion, please.
Awesome Donkey:
It's been brought up multiple times, but MQA support likely won't happen.

Also Tidal integration will likely won't happen either (it's been brought up too, do a search of the forums).
P.S. You *should* be able to pass MQA through MC already, as long as you don't use any DSP (and have volume set at 100%).

Yes and in multichannel, too.
charmerci:
When you do shuffle and then click on a Playlist for example, you go back to shuffle and there's a new order to the songs.
In v.23 can you make it so the old shuffle list is still there? Or at least have the option of keeping or re-shuffling.
Thanks!

P.S. This thread should be a stickie!
