Re: Tidal Misleading Listeners ??? (Neil Young on why he's no longer on Tidal)

I agree Pono was misleading. But IMO so is TIDAL by saying saying that MQA files are masters (see pics on original article) when they aren’t!

Re: Shunyata Research Announces Everest
Though it's on my short list, I don't own the Everest yet, but from what I understand the Shunyata KPIP process takes care of the hard-burn in period, but it still takes about two weeks to settle in.
