@erik_squires, I realize a late reply to this thread. Just wanted to say that I have been waiting for DSD streaming service. I am sure there are quite a few out there with deep pockets to pay for downloads plus streaming services.
I am very excited about MQA streaming, I think the format is ready to go mainstream. From what I hear, MQA streaming was the talk of the town at CES 2017.
At a press conference, the Digital Entertainment Group announced that several other streaming services would offer “hi-res” streaming (including Pandora, HDtracks, Napster/Rhapsody). High-level executives from major record labels also stated their support for hi-res streaming, all these services will offer MQA streaming later this year.
@joey_v ....Personally, I wouldn't delve into DSD playback at this point. Let's wait and compare the sound bits once Tidal brings MQA to mobile or embedded apps. I can hardly wait :-)
