I was going to read it, but you have to allow them access to your computer so they can spy on you.

High resolution sounds better, especially DSD. I read the article. It just wreaks of another MQA propaganda article to me.
A friend of mine is extremely technical and he has a background in the high tech industry. He was also one of the first artist to embrace recording in DSD for his music. He is also one of the first advocates of distributing his music in MQA. Not because MQA is better because he has told me in his view DSD is very analog sounding, more so then other digital formats. However MQA is very good for transporting music, via portables and streaming.
I have all of his music in DSD and in his new re-formulated DSD512. I also have a few of his albums in MQA files that he sent to me. I have directly compared the DSD to the fully unfolded MQA on my portable using both ESS's and AKM's new flagship chips. The DSD is very noticeably better. I actually thought it would be closer but it is not. And yes, the MQA files are definitely better than standard 16/44.1 CD files (I have those also).
