This is what Tidal say is HIFi when you downgrade, so what exactly is it, standard 16-bit and 44.1 kHz or something different?
- HiFi - $9.99 USD a month with standard sound quality (1411 Kbps)
It's the same bitrate, i.e. quality, as CD.
Edit - I should probably say that there are questions about whether you're actually getting the same data as a CD, or whether it's affected by Tidal's way of processing files (i.e. it may have technical aspects in common with the MQA version, albeit that it's not actually in MQA format.
But that's more of a matter for technical arguments more than it is a significant audible effect.
