MQA....again.

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…

I don’t get this analogy at all — Venus and Mars to me.

The same criticism you see for turntables are seen for MQA. Have you not seen how much money is being invested in bringing turntables and record albums back? That’s invested money. I don’t really think you can make turntables sound better…. the technology was kinda maxed out. Digital has and can be made better…. But I don’t bash anyone using record albums. If it’s what you like, go for it. I guess I fail to see why so many people hate MQA, other than it’s fun to bitch about it. If one does not like MQA they are not forced to listen to it, just like nobody is forced to listen to albums. I say, the more formats, the better.

David Chesky is a cleaver fellow.

If the new streaming service will give one the choice between hi res and MQA it will be innovative and fun. To have the chance to compare will be different and fun.

I'd rather spend $10-$20/mth for chance at better music experience vs $1000 for 3ft power cable
