In Reply to: Seems an odd comparison... posted by Ivan303 on July 15, 2017 at 08:59:19:
I think MQA vs. Redbook is kind of pointless because they are generally made from different masterings. For example, a lot of the MQA I've seen or heard so far has come from Warner titles that were remastered for DVD-A release and subsequently offered for hi-res download. These sound obviously different from their Redbook counterparts regardless of delivery format. I also think it's the wrong comparison because MQA isn't really competing against Redbook. MQA is trying to be the preferred format for hi-res, so it's natural to compare it to other popular hi-res formats such as LPCM in FLAC or AIFF, DSD.
