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

MQA is a blessing to those of us that are heavy Tidal users and value best possible sound quality.

This is widely accepted now where streaming is concerned.  :)
I don’t give a flip about anything but sound quality and I am satisfied that MQA is a blessing to those of us that are heavy Tidal users and value best possible sound quality.
Amen brother!

Last count there were approx 5000 MQA titles on Tidal, not a bad start imho
A money-grabbing scheme by THE BIG THREE (Warners - Universal - Sony) to get the innocent to buy the SAME music all over again! And a sneaky Trojan horse of DRM! 
MQA's claim of "authenticity" (the little blue light) is plainly bogus! See FredericV's posts (Feb 20) on the Computer Audio site!
