MQA is unique way to compress files with the least amount quality loss. It is the best format to keeping the cost of broadband down. A better solution is to not compress files at all and have the streaming companies pony up to the cost of greater broadband. Hulu, Netflix and others do just that and that is why you can watch 4k streaming videos.
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.
