RE: Mastersound (MQA) on Tidal streaming

Posted by ahendler on January 7, 2017 at 07:48:46:
If that is true I need to apologise to everyone for arguing that Tidal is not decoding.
If that is true I don't know why the blue light on my explorer 2 lights up indicating it is getting a MQA file. If it was already decoded why would it light up?
Here is a quote from a press release at CES indicating something else
"For the full MQA experience, including hi-res unpacking, an MQA DAC is required."
So the jury is still out. Need to see a link to a press release from MQA or Tidal confirming they are doing the decoding. It does not make sence. If Tidal decodes MQA people will not flock to buy new MQA dacs including those from Meridian although you would need a MQA dac for MQA downloads
