With the increasing onset of hi-res streaming services WaveInput's popularity wil probably be increasing again. It was just a suggestion - for you, me if get better at this in the future, or anyone else - since we've now found that wavin2cmd.exe doesn't really support 24bit very on windows and is not really needed anymore when sox is included and used in LMS, with its larger capabilities and still ongoing support. bpa wrote: > There are quite of a few of these "orphan" plugins now as there are > fewer users who develop/maintain.

Anyhow, as this and many other -orphaned or not - plugins still are working with various user configurations, like this one, I guess the need isn't urgent enough. bpa wrote: > I am not a Tidal issue but IIRC it has been investigated.

Would still be nice if @mherger &co had released a new local and better integrated solution, like Spotty, for Tidal with MQA on updated API, though. I would definitely have paid for it, and we're allowed to dream and believe in Santa Claus, aren't we? ;-) Thanks for all your great help, bpa!
