Now is a different situation, I bought trough ProStudioMaster the AIFF 96khz /24 bit Blood Sugar sex magic from RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS album and I feel it a little stressful… Yes, I Know, maybe is too much energy on tape then to digital and is not jazz… but I feel something strange on high frequencies drums, sometimes in the hithat, sounds a little bit like the mp3 compression distortion, is notable in “Give it Away” song then I do the exercise to listen the same track on Tidal and surprise, sounds better only in hifi streaming format, not even on master… so… what’s happens here?
Was the wav file from the record company to Tidal in better quality? So… The MQA master file sounds better than the AIFF 96/24?
The AIFF file is a 2011 re-master edition so… It’s posible than ProStudioMaster and other companies transform high quality mp3s(or other lossless file) to AIFF only because some people prefers to listen AIFF files than Flacs, maybe is not the case, but can be possible?
Your artwork issue need to be fixed by yourself in whatever location you store your music. MP3Tag is what I use if there are any metadata updates needed.
I’m not sure really, that is why I’m asking for opinions and information, I feel it in that way, I ear it in comparison, now I need the first CD edition.
Are you viewing the music in the USB input? If so you should use the Server input, where you will see the same albums listed under Local Music, with metadata and artwork if it’s present in the files.
