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

ptss
Summary so far (after listening to everything with my own ears) :-
1. Foolish new algorithm? - I vote Yes
2. MQA for better sound? - I vote No
3. MQA for music industry to milk more money? - I vote Yes
4. MQA enjoyable? - Many vote Yes as indeed it is anyone’s prerogative to enjoy any format that is enjoyable
5. Is MQA Tidal better than non-MQA Tidal? - I vote Yes
6. Is MQA better than non-MQA native hires PCM and DSD? - I vote No.
Enjoy the music!

Looks like my unequivocal qualification right at the top before declaring my votes has been chosen to be overlooked. :(

Here’s the real bust :-

".....3) Zero impact of the positive commentary from those with actual MQA experience on the others’ preconceived negative bias derived without any personal experience.
I think this is known as a “bust”?........."
Been enjoying MQA on the Aurender A10 for a year now  I would not pay extra for it but free it is good
@jon2020.

I do not doubt you hear what you hear and that is fine.
But do not get angered or derisive of others who also know what they hear even if it is a polar opposite view/opinion to yours.
Uberwaltz,

Not the least bit angry.
More like people are just not listening to what I have said many, many times
- please continue to enjoy whatever format you enjoy.
No-one can deny anyone that prerogative(using this word for the umpteenth time).
Hope this finally sinks in.

Enjoy the music!
