MQA....again.

Just received the below article in my Google links:

My

initial gut reaction was something along the lines of "oh for crying out loud, leave it alone, this isn’t needed". They state their mission is to rival Qobuz and Tidal.

I’m not sure there’s enough room in the marketplace, what with Qobuz, Tidal (post-MQA), Spotify, Amazon etc; but who knows. That's without  even getting into the whole MQA debacle

I want my rig to sound true to the music and MQA is not that.

Backed by David Chesky who says you can choose your format-FLAC or MQA.  I’m open minded and will give it a try.  Why say no until you hear it?

What, Tidal is now post-MQA? Long overdue. Not that I'm going near its originators any time soon.

MQA sounds very much like the turntable debate. Digital music keeps improving and streaming and DACs improve. Turntable and analog is not needed, old technology. So many people buying expensive record players and record albums. It’s a gimmick to make money. Only…. Many people say analog sounds better on a turntable. To me it’s all stupid and silly. Buy what you like, listen to what you like…regardless of the format. The MQA bashing is just tiresome…
