The MQA debate is finally over

There used to be intense debate over the superiority of MQA vs flac and MQA vs non-MQA dacs.

I have listened to both formats through both dacs (Esoteric vs Meridian Ultradac) and to my ears in my system, flac via a non-MQA dac rules.

RIP, MQA.

No other format has been so lifelike in vocal reproduction in my system. Check this out: https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/e0caf7d2-4adc-4873-a3f8-b3df9ca28ecb
