Album Recommendations for Magnepans

Ray Charles “The Genius of Ray Charles”.

Also there are two ways to talk about an album. One is the traditional term “album” which refers to a record album that is played on a turntable. The second way of interpreting album is the generic way of referring to the recording offered as “album”. In which case there is a record album, a Cd, perhaps a SACD, digital download or MQA version of album that is streamed. I have listened to the MQA version and it is FANTASTIC.

There are some good choices for listening to MQA. For many the Meridian Explorer is a simple computer solution. For myself, I purchased a Bluesound Node 2 for a dedicated streaming and bridge for digital files on a hard drive. I have many ripped CDs as aiff files (lossless files) and I can play those with the Node 2 or I can stream Spotify, Tidal or whatever streaming service I chose. MQA albums on Tidal are truly exceptional for sound quality. That being said, some albums sound bad, many good and still many more really great.
Take a look here at all the companies offering MQA codec for playback.
