Tidal artifact

[Strato007]

Hi people,

Could you check if something is wrong with my equipment?

During the whole track there are artifacts or little distortions, but more appreciate between 01.45 and 02.15 seconds for In my place - Coldplay song.

My setup that I am using now is:
LG G8x (quad DAC ESS)
Sennheiser HD650
USB player pro bit perfect mode (no eq) and Tidal direct app. I will try now with my iPhone and its dongle DAC

Do you have a link to the audio track? Can you post the audio track on a download server so peeps can listen to it?

Thanks for answering, hope this helps otherwise let me know

I have also tried with a VPN located in UK and it is the same issue.

It would be good to compare with a CD version or another HiFi platform...

Tidal only permits the first 30 seconds of each track. So can't focus on the time interval of 01.45 and 02.15 seconds for In my place - Coldplay song.

I will try to download it

Check and see if this issue occurs on the youtube track.

Yes!!! You can hear it at 01.58 to 02.01

Bad recording anyways

I don't hear anything unusual at that time stamp.
