| Most annoying song, period. Baby Shark... doo doot do do | |

| MQA is Legit! Ok.. I'm coming back to this after a good time away and figuring it out. What I've concluded is this: anyone who put in the effort to release a hi res MQA is proud of the mastering... uncompressed, well done mastering. Less than MQA is "commerc... | |
| Need DAC/Streaming Advice I am using the PS Audio DirectStream DAC vir Roon/Tidal. It is amazing. I would put it up against the MSB dac (in my system)! | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? @aberyclark I am considering it with a PS Audio BHK pre. I'm wondering if I can eek out a bit more definition and air (and add a smidge of warmth to my B&Ws). | |
| Yamaha A-S3000 - any experiences? I used the phono section of the A-S3000 for a while with an Ortofon Quintet Black. It was really good, but I moved up to a Parasound JC3+ as I was still wanting more out of my vinyl. Compating the two, at the same volume setting, the JC3+ is eas... | |
| MQA is Legit! I think the discussion has gone a bit off the rails... thanks for the PS Audio link as I am in that same camp. My point was that I am getting this quality over a wifi connection to Tidal. I am not going to replace my hi-res files or SACD or even... | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? I've spent a lot of $$ on connectors, cable and all the trimmings... what is worse is that I found how I wind them or braid them greatly affects the sound (and often sucked pretty bad... made the sound seem "strained" and heavy if the twists weren... | |
| MQA is Legit! @seigen wow... this was a very cocky and bitter article: https://audiophilestyle.com/ca/reviews/mqa-a-review-of-controversies-concerns-and-cautions-r701/In fact, the only reason I have Tidal and Roon is exactly because "I wanted to stream hig... | |
| MQA is Legit! @mzkmxcv: I am convinced it is a better master. It's more than the noise floor--it is the depth and imaging as well. It's like the remaster of Abbey Road.. say what you will about some of these remasters but I think many of them are great. I ha... | |

| MQA is Legit! I'm saying that it appears to me the tracks that are in the "masters" quality selection (i.e. the MQA versions) are better than the ones that aren't. It seems Tidal has a bit more of a quality standard for these versions of a track. The noise fl... | |
| MQA is Legit! @ robelvick Exactly! I only subscribe to Tidal for MQA :) I hear a big (positive) difference.My point is that MQA and Redbook CD will sound identical for a given recording when played back through equivalent gear... I think that tracks that ... | |
| MQA is Legit! @shadorne interesting... i haven't compared MQA to hi-res directly, but the latest tracks released on MQA native are really well done. One album I have, the Doors, does not sound good on ANY digital format, period. Maybe my claim is only valid... |
