The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

MQA is an extra chip to make your gear do what it could already do.  If mqa works as well as possible, it will sound exactly the same as if they had just trickled double the data.

Netflix streams 42 times as much data as a 44.1 audio stream.  Oh wait, that's if the stream is uncompressed, I forgot to flac it to roughly 60% at the end.

There's nothing a server can do, besides doing nothing, that is easier on it than streaming audio files.  Especially if they're compressed at all.

People who compress never want you to find out about it, though.  People who charge double for streaming audio must want someone else to do it.  Then there's mqa, who wants to compress on top of it, with a name they think will sound better than higher resolution.  Then Tidal charges double and hires them.

What's the deal with charging extra to buy higher res, anyways?  Will tiny 44.1 files always be the going rate, and the higher it gets, the more we pay?  A 44.1 track is like the size of a video game in 1990 or something.  Puny.

Heh, Windows 95 is what the world wide web came right after.

The US lags behind the rest of the world due to it's insistence on capitalism uber alles.  Performance per community and cost per connection varies a great deal here, but MQA is an elite product.

Well, that link shows (if you read further down on that page) that there are far more countries experiencing lower data rates (vs. higher) than the US. But the US also bilks customers at every opportunity - is it, then, time to change the system?

The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

.. is exactly that. 

We're not the slowest!!

That's got to be a great vote of confidence, @philosurfer
