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...

  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...

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?

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

  tomcy6: Well we'd just have to settle for justice served, sent a message to the future, then.

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.

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...

anotherbob: I'll always be with you that mqa sucks, but it ain't past tense, the buggers are still streaming it full tilt at Tidal. You're probably smart, and at qobuz.  We have to wait till next month in my country.  I could be at amazon, but T...

erik_squires: Thank you for admitting that 'Authenticated' was the part that sounded good, since they were talking about Master Quality. After that, using this technique, it actually turns out that mqa actually keeps the users from being able to...

Any talk of mqa should be unnecessary.  Compared to just streaming higher res, it's all noise.

nyslkye: Why only 2.79, when people have been paying an extra $10 for years? My hearing is broken if I think higher res sounds better?
