MQA needs a midline non USB ( $400. - $1200 ) DAC. All I keep hearing in TAS and SP is MQA, MQA, MQA. You either have low end USB portable Dacs. Or high priced Dacs ( Brookly, Manhattan) . Even Meridians mid priced "direct dac" is not MQA ready. I'm glad my Node2 does have full MQA unfolding thru it's internal dac. Hopefully, Teac, peachtree,Cambridge will come on board soon
How Is MQA Fareing?
In another thread here are posters are making comments about MQA suggesting that it isn't a big commercial success, that is should be called DOA, etc. Yet there are always announcements about companies adopting MQA, testimonials from happy Tidal streamers, etc.
I'm neutral on MQA but having witnessed more than a few formats go down in flames in my time, and still puzzling over the resurgence of vinyl, I wonder how one measures the marketplace progress of MQA. Do we look at Tidal subscriptions? Sales of MQA compatible DACs? The size of Bob Stuart's house?
