In Reply to: RE: How do YOU feel about MQA? posted by Doug Schneider on October 26, 2016 at 14:26:16
Unless they get a lot of content into our hands it will fail. Tidal streaming of MQA has been promised forever but still no confirmed date. The constant reporting from shows and the reviews of hardware is doing a real disservice to the customer. Meridian should be ashamed of themselves for this con game there pulling. I have a MQA dac and it sits doing nothing.

First question..why did you buy an MQA DAC?
Second, more of a comment...Tidal is not in great shape. 1.5 Million premium subs and a TWENTY EIGHT million dollar loss last year. Even billionaires do not like to bleed money. What if it fails? Is MQA then dead?

No. Stay tuned.
We have stayed tuned for about 2 years now and nothing changes. If you know something and won't tell us it just continues to muddy the water.

I'm working on clarifying things. Hopefully it will be out soon.
Thank you.
I fell for the hype. Besides the Meridian Explorer2 is only $299. So far a total waste of money. If there is no streaming of MQA it will become another DSD. A small tiny fraction of the market

Well, at least you are only on the hook for $400. It is nice little DAC, MQA or not.
It was only bought for MQA. I have a much better dac.
Alan
ell, there is always the $24000 Meridian flagship DAC....
They were $299 when first released. You can now find them cheaper.
Yes, I have corrected it. Looked at the usual places that sell it and it is still going for $299
Alan
Most places, yeah, but:

I find it interesting that in the description of the product there is no mention of MQA. In the questions they mention that a firmware upgrade is required. These may be part of the early releases of the Explorer2 because newer versions had the firmware update built in
