MQA Discussion

My inbox was full with complaints. I’m not closing the thread because it’s taken me years to compile a central location for everything MQA.

Hopefully you two can agree to disagree.

Speaking of filters, it appears this thread needed one today.

Thanks for the feedback Mike, I agree with you.

Appears it is indeed very difficult to have a fact based online discussion about MQA. Instead of substance opinions, pretense of technical expertise and misinformation are used to create confusion. E.g. a point about frequency output at the loudspeaker is not really an argument against MQA, but rather against any hi-res content in general incl. DSD. It does not have anything to do with MQA encoding at all. I exposed some of that behavior, but it does not make for a very nice conversation. When claims are made without backing them up an exchange becomes really meaningless and so my further participation is pointless.

I won’t post on this thread again, there are for sure people with better knowledge on MQA than myself.

Regardless of MQA's technical elegance and promised increase in sound quality, the removal of consumer choice in recorded music is indeed a relevant issue.—John Atkinson

Pretty refreshing admission, even if the non-critical thinkers will gloss over it.
The openly stated goal is unauthentic Master Quality Aliasing for all, no choice.
 
Roon will (finally) be doing the first MQA unfold. This from MQA folks:

MQA Music Players

Roon Labs is the latest software partner to announce integrated MQA support for its award-winning music player. Roon’s desktop software will support local MQA file playback, as well as TIDAL MQA streaming for HiFi subscribers.

Roon now joins MQA software partners Amarra and Audirvana, who both continue to work on their Windows implementation of MQA. Audirvana Plus for Windows 10 will be released by end of January 2018, enjoying the same feature levels as Audirvana Plus for Mac, and benefiting additionally from a totally redesigned user interface.

That already exists. Within Roon, click on Tidal. You will see a tab that reads “Masters”. All the albums under that Tab are MQA albums. Unfortunately, not ALL avail MQA albums are shown under the tab.

That's not what I wrote. I want to, while browsing Tidal, to be able to identify which are MQA albums/tracks and which aren't. Simple.

The above in not what you asked for in the previous post. Here you state “while browsing Tidal” that can be done. In your previous post you indicate when in Roon you want to be able to identify MQA titles in Tidal. As you stated that can’t be done.
