MQA is Legit!

Ok, there is something special about MQA.  Here is my theory:  MQA=SACD.  What do I mean by this?  I mean that since there might be the "perception" it sounds better, then there is way more care put into the mastering and the recording.   Of course I have Redbook CD's that sound just as good (although they tend to be "HDCD" lol)... Bottom line:  a great recording sounds great.  I wish more labels and artists put more time into this--it's great to hear a song for the 1000th time and discover something new.  

What are your thoughts on MQA and SACD?

Please pardon my ignorance on the subject...Trying to learn as a DAC and  Tidal are in the near future for me.....
"... I think that tracks that are offered up via Tidal in MQA have more to give as they tend to be better mastered"

So are you saying that all tracks offered in MQA have been remastered for MQA and not simply converted to the Format?

Im not sure I have ever heard the MQA people say that it actually sounds better then CD.....Is not the primary function of MQA to deliver CD quality at a lower file size than other formats? Just wondering as my understanding of it is quite limited....
