shadorne..i have been listening to full MQA through my Lumin A1 for about a week comparing MQA/nonMQA tracks on the same album and 90% of the MQA tracks are easily sonically better then their nonMQA counterpart.Some are significantly better..There is a list of 3400 MQA albums with a link on audioshark.com in the lumin forum section.. it is great that apparently Universal is beginning to release their albums and they are beginning to appear in the 'Masters' section of Tidal..pretty cool
Tidal Masters post possibly hundreds of Universal Music Group titles
The first fruits of the announcement earlier this year that UMG will support MQA are now appearing, totally unheralded as Master recordings on Tidal. I have found dozens and dozens of titles from artists sprinkled throughout their catalog. At this point it seems mostly focused on the Capitol pop catalog and the DG classical one, although I have seen a few Philips and Decca recordings, too. The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, The Band, Nat King Cole, Glen Campbell, Iron Maiden, Tina Turner, Daniel Barenboim, Herbert von Karajan, Gustavo Dudamel...just to name a few.
Preliminary auditions are also favorable. Listening to "The Band" right now. "A drunkards dream" indeed.
