| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. 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... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. 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... | |
| Tidal class-action Any talk of mqa should be unnecessary. Compared to just streaming higher res, it's all noise. | |
| Tidal class-action 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? | |
| Tidal class-action juss49: I haven't had much to complain about, until mqa. I guess I could start another thread telling people I love mqa unfolding, so that I'm more popular. | |
| Tidal class-action It won't have costed much for the gearmakers of gear cheap enough to use the chip to have put it on there. They can't cost too much, you can get the dac's for only 300. Then it will unfold hidden data that takes no size, instead of upsamplnig. | |
| Tidal class-action bowinkle: mqa’s use of upfolding instead of upsampling can indeed make your yamaha indicate whatever they want. When Tidal gets a 384 track, they will say that if you bought the same 10k dac with their cheap chip in it first, your dac will light ... | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. Actually, why are we talking like mqa is the past? It's currently running more than ever on Tidal. | |
| The best part about MQA bankruptcy.. If Netflix streams it’s 4k video at 15gbhr, that’s a bitrate of roughly 4166kbs. I haven’t seen anything released yet at 384kbs. but if you could be getting 192 for your track, that’ss roughly 21 times as much. That Netflix plan is 14.99 here, Tid... | |
| Tidal class-action The only merit would be for the provider to conserve bandwidth, chips add noise to the signal, they are full of transistors, which don’t sound as natural as tubes. But since it’s fake, they don’t spend any more, and you get noise for double your m... | |

| Tidal class-action I don’t understand why people are trying to make sure audio streamers don’t have to stream very much. Look at what Netflix is doing for it’s price. Probably at least 50 times as much bandwidth for it’s movies compared to higher res audio. Audio i... | |
| Tidal class-action Enjoy your logic. | |
| Tidal class-action Streaming is the price of 1 album, 1 higher res album if you get a higher res plan (unless you get the Tidal mqa plan, which upsamples from 44.1). If you listen to more than that, or especially if you want to explore new music to find out what to... | |
| Tidal class-action The great thing about forums is that you don't have to read all the threads of stuff you're sick of. If you think mqa works, ask why your processor can only handle the first unfold to 96, and then you need another cheap chip, that has to be in yo... |
