Hi Everyone,
I just got a tweet that mentioned MQA will have two rooms dedicated to them and their partners.
Also, please take careful note about any demo's given. I would love to know impressions, demo tracks, and how convincing you felt it was.
Best,
ERik

I heard MQA over Bluesound - it sounds good.
The "issue" is the same "issue" as any new format - getting music into it. Whether it's successful or a flop will hinge on this.
But based on my brief demo, I'd say that it offers what people are after. The "secret sauce" would be streaming it.

Did you audition MQA on a Bluesound device at RMAF, or was this somewhere else, possibly earlier this summer? I believe Bluesound announced support for MQA in June.
Pogo,
Could you be any more specific? :)

More demos of a product that basically has almost no software available to the public. Ask about Tidal streaming. Bet you don't get an answer. How about Warner Brothers releases. Bet no answer. So far MQA is a scam

Sounds like it might have the same fate as SACD and DVD-A? I wonder if streaming services will save it?
I will be surprised if MQA lasts through 2017. It's DOA unless it gets several streaming partners.
The claims of sound quality improvements are nonsense to me so far. I mean compare it to Dolby A, B, or C. All were measurable and important improvements which made tiny magnetic tape a realistic HiFi medium. MQA? I cannot tell the difference after extensive listening of it and PCM.
Best,

Hi Alan,
There are a few music providers now who have MQA tracks. One of the most famous is the Buena Vista Social Club.
2L I think is also making them, but I have really not liked any of their recordings. :)
Having said this, I have no evidence you are wrong about MQA at all. I just didn't want to prejudice anyone who was going.
Best,
Erik
