It happens to me too, and with my Macbook, android smartphone and ipad. It gets me wondering whether I have been actually using flac in most of my plays in the past, even if I have had the hi-res subscrition with Tidal since I purchased my phantoms past august. Considering flac option is twice as much in subscription costs, this is simply unacceptable. I hope this is fixed shortly in the next software release or I will downgrade my tidal subscription

For me the way it works is: every time I close Spark, the configuration gets back to AAC 320 Kbps. Then I go to settings, sources, tidal settings, and then I disable and then enable the Tidal source. After doing so the Audio Quality is reset to HiFi - Flac. I need to do this every time I re-open the app.
Do you know if there is any way of knowing whether the phantoms are actually reproducing Flac? I guess I could use a sniffer and measure bandwidth used in the download, but if anyone has come out with a simpler method to know, please share.

Point is, at $6,000 for a pair of golds, we should not have to use a $35 chroamcast audio. They should fix spark to work right!

I've tried the enable /disable trick and after that it shows FLAC. When I come back to this setting after 2-3 songs its back at ACC 320.
I do probably listen to ACC 320 most of the time and pay for HIFI FLAC Tidal. wooohaa
Thinking that I have to buy another box to get FLAC. Just to make sure. Now I dont know I get FLac.
I have asked Devialet support about this twice but got no reply for a hole week.
Does Devialet really have a fix for this? Can someone confirm?
I have 2 golds and a dialog.
