For newer services that would be the ickstream team go to thier forum there is already a tread .
They are all here already it's erland, pippin and remd . Here it is mherger . I'm with Julf here , why ? Unless actually not implementing MQA ( but using some legacy mode and bypassing it ) makes the service sound worse than the good old 16/44.1 they seems to want to abandon :( I do see the streaming service benefit here ( not us consumers ) it is a proprietary lossy format with DRM . A FLAC service like tidal practically broadcast the CD master which makes the paranoid record companies unhappy . I do understand why streaming services may like the format . You can ofcourse record "off air" as in the good old days , but reintroduce some generational loss would make some happy . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
