MQA certification

CocktailAudio was officially certified by MQA LTD. on 04.10.2018. This means you can enjoy Tidal MQA, MQA downloads and MQA CDs in studio master quality.

Replay Gain (Normalisation)

Each recording/CD usually has a different level. This means that when playing different CDs, the volume control must be adjusted manually to avoid playing at different volumes. This normalisation function determines the maximum volume value for each track and stores it in the TAG. When playing, the volume is then increased or decreased by this stored correction factor.
