If you can do it, find someone with a streamer/dac that can unfold MQA files from Tidal. If you are really exploring, just buy the Bluesound Node 2 or Vault 2 and play MQA files and rip CDs for your own library of networked music. I was amazed how much I like the music I was hearing via the Bluesound system of playback.
Streaming vs traditional
My son is talking about the "lossless" audio one can stream. I have a good collection of CD's as well as a couple of TT and LP's with more than than I should invested in both. (some may say too much, some may say not enough) Anyway, thought I would come to a relative neutral forum to ask for reviews on the streaming audio. It kinda reminds me of the Bluray and Betamax wars of years past-no standard version/format yet. I guess it's relatively in it's infancy with lots of software and format devices on the market. I love the convenience of CD's and the warmth and ambience of analog. So-what's up with the streamers?

Since this thread has drifted over to MQA, see my post here of many of the hi-fi brands incorporating MQA into their models. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/dac-streamer-mqa-wireless-besides-bluesound. I don’t know if it will last, but I thought I read two large record companies are making MQA versions of their entire collections, Universal Music Group (UMG), and Warner Music Group (with Sony Music Entertainment on the fence right now). |
