Tidal Integration ~ Is it still dead in the water?

Remember, JRiver did a first step in Tidal integration a couple years back, only for disagreements with Tidal over how it'd look in MC (which were unacceptable to JRiver) caused said Tidal integration to be aborted in the early stages. There's nothing that suggests that stance with Tidal has or will likely change.
Using MC's WDM driver + Tidal app is likely the closest you can do.

this, i can understand & respect. but not speculations about their longevity, esp after receiving fresh capital.
also wdm driver does not work with the new mqa catalog (aka masters) at 24/96
JimH:
We're not planning to do MQA either. It's a lossy format with a royalty.
mcduman:
royalty: lets make a vote and may be enough users accept a price increase for the mqa feature.
lossy: mp3 is lossy too ;)

We did earn a profit in 2016. And 2015. And 2014 ...
The company started in October of 1981 (35 years ago) and has been profitable most years. We've never used anyone else's money. I guess I'm proud of that.
I've watched dozens of companies, raise a lot of money, make a lot of noise, and disappear. A few survived and prospered. So I'm skeptical of some companies, especially when they lose money and claim success.
Awesome Donkey:
Yeah, but MQA is touted as an audiophile "lossless" format, and it's anything but.
IMO cost doesn't matter, it's not worth supporting. MQA support, like Tidal integration, has been brought up multiple times on the board and the answer is always the same.
Jim, perhaps information about Tidal integration/MQA support can be added in it's own sticky topic, or at least in the FAQ topic? Maybe people will not ask as much (and beat the dead horse more) in the future. :P
