Well and good except for the MQA has your money in the form of the license fee. They have mine too and I’ve never even tried it, even during a crappy Tidal trial.

True dat. MQA was originally a solution for a problem that quickly vanshed most places and it morphed into a top secret cash extractor.
In Russia they can do their own upsampling, probably better sounding.

Just attracting you to giving up some cash IS their business model. I am amazed that they sold any Japanese CD makers on it.
Submit them for testing before enriching probable fraudsters.

The most common problem with "digital’" is the AD conversion at the originating studio in the first place.
It is very difficult to make a purse out of a porcine ear.



I actually have 2 time shares that I am happy with. A small minority of that product is OK. But I do agree that the majority of the sales force is blatant lying PsOS.
I was just digging a p/l that I imported. Then I checked Qobuz files. They have more releases than Spotify did.   Even better.

Mr. Chump.
The quality of your listening acumen is seriously impuned by the tests. You’re saying that distortion and needless upsampling sound better to your ears. At least you’re getting what you’re paying for.

Right on brother. 2nd generation rules apply to digital too.
You can fool unsophisticates into thinking it "sounds" better, like lipstick on a wild bore

Except the $$ route was different for the "loudness wars"
Initially srtists and companies were trying to make their product stand out from the pack to sell more. It just quickly evolved into all bad. MQA is just trying to pilfer your long green.
Their objective is ONLY to make you think that you are giving instead of the take.
