Wish I had read this thread before starting another upon first discovering, after changing streamers, that MQA sucks, which is no doubt why Tidal Masters suck. Tidal offers both original and Master versions of many classics, so I put both formats in playlist and in EVERY case preferred the original. I have used the term "dumbed-down" to describe MQA. gdnrbob put it well, "Dolby for the 21st Century." I would even say Muzak for the 21st Century. Time to try Qobuz anyhow. Thanks to all above.
