It's hard enough dealing with vinyl, CDs and tape. I'm not averse to new formats but I don't think - at least for me - 'this is it'. I don't find the rationale sufficiently compelling to make the substantial tangential investment (again) when there are so many other ways of addressing high quality, distributed digital audio.
Frankly, I'm more concerned about having new music and new performances of existing music in sufficient quantity.

If you are already streaming from Tidal there is no additional investment to get most of the effect of MQA. I like it because some of the albums I really like have never sounded better. A good example is Fleetwood Macs Rumers. Really supperb sound even without outboard decoding.

Don't take this too personally, but Rooomoors is among the most overly hyped, overly played pieces of pop garbage to ever be recorded. Not exactly the music to judge the quality of a new playback system by. Reminds me of walking into Deja Vu Audio at least ten years ago and some milk-fed veal rich kid was auditioning mega-buck equipment with Pink Floyd's The Wall with the volume over 110dB.
To each their own, but I suggest you stick to Sir Simon for critically judgements.
A good example is Fleetwood Macs Rumers.
Rumors from 1977? Yeah, I remember that from my teen years. Your profile says you enjoy classical and film scores.
What is available today in either of those genres?
I've recently enjoyed the soundtracks from Interstellar and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Can you access or download either of them? Or, is it only forty year old content that is available?
Rumours is Fleetwood Mac's most successful release; along with winning the Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 1978, the album has sold over 45 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. Never said I use Rumours to judge equipment with. I said it is a good example of a MQA encoded release

In classical there are MQA albums by
Herbert Von Karajan
Kronos Quartet
Itzhak Perlman
Sir Simon Rattle
Vasily Petrenko
MQA film music
Max Richter
When Sony and UMG start getting MQA downloaded to title there will be a lot more classical and film music
In non MQA files on Tidal there are tons of classical and film music
By the way Intersteller is a great score and on Tidal at 16/44 it sounds spectacular

I read the earlier post about the list of titles .
I've looked at 2L, Onkyo Music, and High Res Audio for downloads. Rather slim pickings. Nothing available that I already have (or want).

I enjoy my 24/44 version, too. :)
