Higher End DACs

As long as I live it will be very easy to outperform every single human on this planet in audio. I can bring each individual system to a much higher level than this person can reach by him or herself until this person dies!

The MQA music is often very poorly recorded. I listen to them every single week when I look for new music. No audio format will ever give you a better result in the quality of the recording.

I also have a lot of DSD music on my modified Lumin L1  music server. But I even own 16 bit 44.1 kHz recordings which are even better than some good DSD recordings. I have some DSD512 recordings which are by far the best I own.

But still how a recording has been done, it far more important than the format. These days the quality of recodings is becoming worse, unfortunately. This is not a good thing.

@bo1972,

This is very concerning, what can we do to fix this?

@bo1972,

do you ever compare an MQA streaming recording, to the native high rez file? it's easy. go to HD tracks and download the highest rez.

or maybe to the analog tape source? this is harder to do, but not impossible.

and what level of sources do you use for that high rez native file, or analog tape? this is an important part.

you have to properly hear the source to judge what MQA does......or does not....do.
