    Same for me. Dumped Tidal for Qobuz. To me it just sounded better. For me, MQA, take it or leave. Haven't listened to it since 2019 when I dumped Tidal.

    Got to agree with ya here. Close friends of ours have a 2018 S560 with the Burmester and it sure sounds nice in that tight interior, until he steps on it then forget about the audio, the engine makes a nice tune on its on.
