Tidal class-action

Will be interesting to see what information comes out of discovery.

There will have to be a lawsuit filed before there can be any discovery. So far the only guy talking about suing is the OP.

Charging additional money for a service they could not delivery can only mean a couple things in todays charged world.

I haven't seen any evidence that MQA failed to deliver service and there are many satisfied users of MQA.

So maybe your sick fantasy will come true and you win $2.72 in settlement? Your hearing can never be fixed, you will never hear the difference that is is the real reason why you are so bitter.  

bowinkle:

mqa’s use of upfolding instead of upsampling can indeed make your yamaha indicate whatever they want. When Tidal gets a 384 track, they will say that if you bought the same 10k dac with their cheap chip in it first, your dac will light up 384, also, from a 44.1 stream, instead of them streaming you the original 384.

If you're listening in your car, you'll have to trade it in for the current model with the chip in the dashboard that only works on Tidal, to get upfolded bitrate from Tidal.

This could become explosive. So many manufacturers have already gone to great effort and expense to incorporate MQA into their equipment. Then on top of the losses there, I am thinking that this is just another tactic to eliminate 'ORIGINAL Recording Quality' from the market just like they did years ago with SACD.
Also I have to say just look at WHO is saying what. I mean there were so many people BRAGGING about the quality and saying this is the ultimate and I wonder if those aren't the exact same folks that are now crying about being duped into thinking they are being cheated. That only shows how gullible the minds are when discussing Audiophile topics.

I told you all that Tidal MQA sucked.
