" However there is not any high rez ( in an MQA sense) service yet in existence"
Classicsonlinehd has many files streaming at 24/96 to 24/192
Of course they are dropping all labels except those owned by Naxos. Too bad

I think that I could have phrased it better if I had just said " using MQA". Still I think that the point about unproven economic viability is still pertinent and the scaling down of Classics Online supports this. As a simile, apparently 83% of Spotify's revenue is dissipated in royalties and other outgoing costs. As Classics Online is owned by Naxos and if they now only have repertoire from the Naxos family of labels, then the cost of some of the royalties (those to publishers are artists remain) is removed. It also must reduce the cost of storage and administration.
It's too bad that Naxos found it necessary to do this but, as I have pointed out elsewehere on AA, some download suppliers have also found it necessary to take roughly similar action although in their case it was reputedly mainly caused by storage and bandwidth costs.
I was listening Qobuz yesterday with a close friend who works at one of the majors " enjoy it while you can" was his view.

Of all the labels I have looked at with a hires FFT, Naxos is the worst for having TV Monitor breakthrough on their files. This is at around 15kHz where a very sizeable spikes above the noise floor can create digititis sounding music.
