RE: Qobuz now offers full hi-rez streaming

Posted by Isaak J. Garvey on May 18, 2017 at 18:26:12:
Yes, 24/44.1, 24/48, 24/96 an 24/192 album all streamed without having to purchase them. $350 a year, approx $20 a month.
So please, someone tell me why MQA is needed again???
Clearly there are NO bandwidth issues.
So why do we need LOSSY, reduced file sizes?
Oh yeh, MQA sounds "better", you know because proprietary DSP that REDUCES resolution, and requires software and hardware to decode fully is BETTER than a pristine master file.
There is NOTHING masterful about MQA, and it is clearly inferior QUALITY.
It may very well sound "better" than Redbook resolution, which ALL listeners have been comparing it to, only because it was processed with a higher resolution file.
The industry puppets and the shills will have a lot to answer for.
FYI. VERY easy to get a USA Qobuz account.
