MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote!


Vote please. Simply yes or no. Let’s get a handle on our collective thinking.
The discussions are getting nauseating. Intelligent(?) People are claiming that they can remove part of the music (digits), encode the result for transport over the net, then decode (reassemble) the digits remaining after transportation (reduced bits-only the unnecessary ones removed) to provide “Better” sound than the original recording.
If you feel this is truly about “better sound” - vote Yes.
If you feel this is just another effort by those involved to make money by helping the music industry milk it’s collection of music - vote no.
Lets know what we ‘goners’ think.
P.S. imho The “bandwidth” problem this is supposed to ‘help’ with will soon be nonexistent. Then this “process” will be a ‘solution’ to a non existing problem. I think it is truly a tempest in a teacup which a desperate industry would like to milk for all its worth, and forget once they can find a new way to dress the Emporer. Just my .02

Right now I am not paying anything extra for MQA. It comes with Tidal which I would subscribe to whether it carried MQA titles or not.
My Bluesound vault2 decodes MQA but that was not what I originally purchased it for so just another bonus.
So imho I am getting MQA for nothing so why the heck would I not listen to it.
Just a huge bonus that it happens to sound better to me in my system.
@crwilli57,

Is your assessment based on real time comparison between MQA files and FLAC/DSD recordings in your system or hearsay? 
Hope so. I just bought a Moon 780D to upgrade from my LINN Majik DS, partly on the basis that the 780D will soon be MQA capable.
