MQA is for chumps

Wow.  MQA always seemed like a scam to me, so it’s interesting to see some objective measurements that would seem to confirm it.  I was happier with Qobuz after dumping Tidal, and now I’m even more so.  I hope this message gets more traction so MQA can’t impose itself further into hi-res audio than it already has.  Thanks for posting the link!

When I was in the market to try streaming, I bought a Mytek Brooklyn Bridge because it came with MQA capability. I gave the process a fair shot and, yes, it did improve sound quality a bit over Tidal's bread-and-butter streaming. The trouble was that Qobuz, without MQA, gave me better fidelity than Tidal whether Tidal was MQA-ing or not. Long story short -- I dropped Tidal and have never given MQA another thought.

Well and good except for the MQA has your money in the form of the license fee. They have mine too and I’ve never even tried it, even during a crappy Tidal trial.
