| MQA actually tested Qobuz came to Canada today. First song, within 5 seconds, it sounded like higher res compared to what Tidal didn't have. No need for there to be an argument. 70% of the price, too. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Don’t worry, only 1 company charges double for high res audio-only, and then doesn’t actually give you more bandwidth. Which you need to trade in your 10k dac for the same thing but with a cheap chip first to be able to hear any difference. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. 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 i... | |
| 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 ... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Yeah, TIdal shouldn’t have to go bankrupt also, they’re just losing credibility for letting mqa spoof so many people. But it’s true, streaming higher res audio is a trickle compared to Netflix, which streams 42 times as much with their 4k plan as... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. 4afsanakhan: Have you tried to equal cd with uncompressed files on another source? It's not easy, because sources probably only get noisier and more complex after a cd reader. If you can get it going, more confidence about the reading than s... | |
| Tidal class-action If you haven't yet discovered everything that was recorded on tape, wouldn't you still eventually rather discover the dac they play the music on for the conversion to vinyl that they all need now? | |
| Tidal class-action It’s a relief hearing you disagree with everything even mqa says it’s doing, moto_man. You should be asking for an unaltered simple 24/96 stream, not lossless, if you don’t like people messing with your stuff. MQA would probably tell Jay-z that h... | |
| Tidal class-action moto_man: You paid for top tier, and they call it upfolding instead of oversampling. That’s why they chose the name that mqa stands for, it’s a decoy that sounds better than higher res. fbgbill: I like streaming as the option to discover more m... | |
| Tidal class-action cleeds: It's the lawsuit thread, so that's what it's about. People are just saying why they aren't interested, or we would only get $2.79 each. When I don't get what I'm paying for, I want my money back. MQA can not prove to users that Tidal h... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Nobody is going to sell their 10k dac they’re impressed with to try mqa. MQA is the wrong format to care about. It says it folds sample data into fewer samples to take less space, then the secret way unfolds them back, and won’t let you encode it... | |
| Tidal class-action I think I remember my first internet speed after using a telephone modem was around 200kbs. Enough for 192 uncompressed, not even flac'd, if they had had it. People probably usually have around 100Mbs now, your higher res audio is a tiny trickle... | |
| Tidal class-action tomcy6: Well we'd just have to settle for justice served, sent a message to the future, then. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. It probably took a lot of work for the person who thought of the idea to get people to listen to the same stream, but with an unfolding chip they bought new gear for, to make gear readouts say 96 and who knows how high up they'll support with it. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. mqa does not introduce the type of option I would like to see introduced. Folding and hiding data, so that it gets unfolded back, with a chip you have to buy in a new dac? So that an audio streamer saves bandwidth money, and still charges double... |
