MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote!
Vote please. Simply yes or no. Let’s get a handle on our collective thinking.
The discussions are getting nauseating. Intelligent(?) People are claiming that they can remove part of the music (digits), encode the result for transport over the net, then decode (reassemble) the digits remaining after transportation (reduced bits-only the unnecessary ones removed) to provide “Better” sound than the original recording.
If you feel this is truly about “better sound” - vote Yes.
If you feel this is just another effort by those involved to make money by helping the music industry milk it’s collection of music - vote no.
Lets know what we ‘goners’ think.
P.S. imho The “bandwidth” problem this is supposed to ‘help’ with will soon be nonexistent. Then this “process” will be a ‘solution’ to a non existing problem. I think it is truly a tempest in a teacup which a desperate industry would like to milk for all its worth, and forget once they can find a new way to dress the Emporer. Just my .02

Someone please identify the huge record companys that are already “Shareholders” in this MQA effort to turn the quality of “all” music into that which will “work” for the ubiquitous cellphone users. And, thanks again to the Professional,Brian Lucy, for creating hope that it will be ARTISTS who will hold out to archive their precious works in the manner that sounds best under quality conditions-during the recording and mastering of their “babies”. |

@jon2020, Thanks for sharing the news on HRA hi-res streaming. It’s would be very interesting to read reports on how hi-res streaming stacks up against MQA. I have been anxiously waiting on Qobuz to enter US territory for a while. HDTracks announced their plans to introduce hi-res streaming late last year but since then we have heard nothing. |
