DSD coming to Qobuz streaming?

It looks like DSD files will soon stream on Qobuz - this may take some of the wind out of the sails of HDTracks and MQA. Some DSD recordings are already available for download, such as this classic from Boston.

I checked with Qobuz directly and was told there will be "an official announcement soon."

MQA is dead. It's dead, Jim. Hallelujah. 

MQA will be featured on the new HDTracks streaming service.

QOBUZ DSD UPDATE

I have now received new information from Qobuz. This is the message, in full:

Everyone, this may be a mistake by us. I’ll let you know when I know.

I’m sorry if I’ve contributed to the Internet’s flow of possibly bad information. It’s something I really try to avoid.

The Boston album linked to is shown in CD quality ...

It is now, but that wasn't the case previously. I think Qobuz may have jumped the gun in advance of the "announcement."
