Norah Jones - Tidal vs. Hi Res ?


Hi Everyone, 

I was going through my favorites list on Tidal when I clicked on Norah Jones "Not Too Late" album, which I happen to own in 96kHz/24. It did not sound nearly as good as I expected. 

Anyone else able to do this comparison? 

Best,

E

Its not (MQA) propaganda...accuracy of release date(s) notwithstanding, they are delivered at higher bit rates and sound much better than the non-MQA versions. 
potato potaoe, mqa has never made me tip my hat to it in all the times I've heard it.

erik, a couple of quick questions just out of curiosity: did you compare the MQA’d version of the track in Tidal, and how did you play the file for this (same) track, e.g., USB from computer, server via Ethernet connection, etc.? 
To be more objective, you should at least compare the tracks with the same 24/96 resolution.
