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

With 5G around the corner, I can’t help but wonder why we’ll need any more “lossy” manipulations?
I can't believe MQA has gained so much traction, more significant mprovements are available through well engineered digital filters which don't seek to monopolize the recording process.
Yes! True MQA is so good that the best turntable and LP would have a hard time beating. If your system and speakers are cable of truly reproducing MQA quality you will seriously be hard pressed to find something better. I thought I was listening to MQA until I got a true MQA decoder DAC and now I’m in music bliss.

Try iFi iDSD DAC. Now offer free MQA firmware flash. I tried Tidal MQA Master streaming. I can say MQA sound better then Redbook. You should listen to it. Best of all, it's all free with Tidal HiFi.
I like I like MQA as an option for some recordings and for a better way to stream stereo using less bandwidth.  I do not like it as a standard for ALL music media or distribution.  It imposes DRM standards which are unacceptable.  It is also not applicable, today, to multi-channel (MCH), which IMHO is the future.  

That makes me a NO.
