Re: [slim] Meridian MQA - Breakthrough? LMS possible?

2015-12-03 Thread Mnyb

The interesting part is how they at tidal are going to run the MQA
encapsulating process on everything in their catalog and especially how
and why it works on on existing 16/44.1 masters ? MQA's own site is
mostly sales blurb.

The hydrogen audio tread is a bit more revealing on how it actually
works .

But afaik to get the special MQA data to add to the file , you get that
from a Hirez original master with a special process .
It will "work" with an original from for example 2L then tidal can have
this MQA fle and it given the rigth DAC unpacks with some >20khz
information and the DAC can choose its most suitable filter algorithm
etc audiophile blizz in progress .

I'm not convinced it applys to the majority of tidal files and if they
do some processing to make them different it would make me even more
sceptical ;) the best thing you can do with an existing 16/44.1 master
is to play it as it is . In there are plenty of file formats to,choose
from .

So tidal will be able to stream some select music from audiophile labels
with "better than cd quality" the rest is like it is today .

But can this be embedded in a normal flac or wav file or is it going to
be a special file format ?

If it's a new file format to it can be tricky for squeezebox to support
this . Not only for squeezeboxes btw every endpoint needs some MQA
license , now I see brilliant money grab here

My pow hardware manufacturers should resist this and let it die like 8
track or any other obsolete format . It only applies to a tiny amount of
source material to begin with . And it don't really apply as Hirez is
not at all necessary to begin with .

MQA marketing is a bit deceptive , breakthrough in sampling theorem
temporal blur ? The same FUD as ever , basically the audio myth that
16/44.1 don't preserver timing better than 1/44.1kHz but more cleverly
disguised .

But it's a marketing exercise we will see what's comes out of it . There
are to many backers already it worries me , but they are mostly hifi
brands that sees an opurtunity

Ok thanks


I might actually add it to the status query in 7.9. There's a task on my 
todo list to unify some of the player queue handling, which is totally 
different in the web UI from anywhere else. I've started to tackle this 
a while ago, but haven't got there yet. Part of this task there's adding 
support to the CLI (because most of the internal data handling nowadays 
is using the same CLI calls).


Would this be any helpful to you? Or is it useless unless it's available 
in eg. 7.7, too?

It can be an issue if they also remove their current hifi option with CD
quality FLAC ?

The article does not say what they intend to do with the current hifi
offering ?
It would be really bad if they removed that . For the reason that the
majority of recordings >99% they have in thier catalog (or any catalog )
is basically in less than CD quality and would not benefit from MQA (If
there was a benefit which I strongly doubt ).
So its select labels like 2L AIX or LINN etc that have recordings that
could take advantage of this .

If they introduced some kind of super hifi service good for them , but
if the old hifi service is intact we can still use that with our
squeezeboxes ?

I think there is an error in that article, as there is others places as
well when the technical part of Tidal is discussed. 
It says the implementation has to be in the DAC. That is not the only
way to implement MQA as far as I have understood this. It could be done
there. But it can of cause also be done in the player/streamer. 

MQA is SW based, so there should be no need of a new DAC, if your
streamer can be upgraded. But you can of cause purchase a new DAC as an
(expensive) solution. Or maybe get a payed? firmware upgrade. 

Will be interesting to see what other companies choose to do. (Sonos,
Blue Sound, Aralic, EC, and more). 

An other interesting thing is what type if MAQ we will get. I thaught
there only exist 24/96. But now the article takling about MQA 44,1 is
better than PCM 24/96. I'm confused. 

We will just be pasient and wait to understand if there will be
different MQA qualities as well.

Can we hope for Triode to write a codec ?

Personally I do not mind to pay for MQA on my Touch, if that is what
will make it happen.

Tidal hi-fi on a good stereo is much better that CD. Even if you have an
expensive CD transport.

There are two dimesnions to this about 80% ort so of tidal is encoded as
16/44.1 lossles FLAC that’s the music they have (for now ) and some
washed up old mp3's .
So these recordings stop at 20k . Is not the MQA "process" done from
higer rez originals rigth ? it's not like most labels are going to
re-upload millions of songs to tidal in higer rez to take advantage of
this ?
In the majority of cases because they could not do it even if they
wanted to, their master is a 16/44.1 .

Then we have actual soundquality of the recording itself they rarely
challenge the 16/44.1 container they are held in, some older noisy
recordings may be perfectly reproduced by properly dithered 13 bits or
so in the best case .
Due to the typical quality of typical recordings the 16/44.1 limitation
is not actually a limitation it's actually more than enough to reproduce
the content .
Some of them can still sound great and wonderful in their own respect ,
but they don't challenge the media there released on (not like in the
old days when cassette and vinyl did not represent what was on the
master tape ) .

I tend to think that attacking the medium is barking up the wrong three
? It is and audio gear company behinds it it's what they do, sell audio
gear and software, but maybe not necessarily what we need .

I do have respect for some of meridians ideas and products (se my
signature) but some things they do baffles me a bit .

Tidal will not remove hi-fi. In order for MQA to work, it has to be
implemented two places as you probably know, so even if all Tidal was
MQA, you would still only get the old hi-fi. Actually it important to
understand Tidal will only support MAQ. This mean that they just
"transmitt" what has been offered to them from the record companies.
Right ?

Also most Tidal is FLAC quality today. I hope you are not saying than
less than 99% isn't. It's rater the opoøsite.
(All Tidal is CD quality). 

Since takling about streaming quality. I'm using iPeng. I have several
times tried to convince Pippin to have a more easier way to show what
quality your stream is. With MQA even more important I think. We will se
what he comes up with.
He has given a solution that most likely will be available next year.

The Zero makes perfect sense as a player in certain configurations.
Especially if the player is hooked up to an AVR, the Zero makes a lot of

I don't think this is that much of a problem. Small adapters of all kind
(including right-angled ones and such) are already out there. And I'm
sure soon, the Raspi shops will carry even more suitable ones.

The Zero isn't a sensible choice for a server, though. With required
extras such as USB hub, adapter cables etc. you lose both the cost and
size advantage.

Here in Germany, physical media sales still make up more than 50% of the
market. I think "personal ownership of music" (for lack of a better
expression) is here to stay. Look at vinyl, for example. It's more than
a quick fad like the 90s revival. Sales have been improving for far too
long now.

I understand that streaming and such is big and will get bigger. The
cloud is appealing not just to digital natives, but to people which
aren't tech-saavy as well (it's easier to run an app than your own
server).

But I strongly believe that people which want to own their music will
remain more than a niche.

This is not gonna save Squeezebox, though. It will remain a niche
because it's too complicated and technical. I actually believe the
average consumer of multi-room audio is getting less tech-savvy. I don't
necessarily believe the population as a whole is becoming less competent
with regards to IT (even though one could debate it) but the thing is
that the early adopters of multi-room audio where techies, whereas the
majority adopters and laggards are non-techies).

I'm afraid you are right. I've tried to investigate, but I do not get
any answer from Tidal support here in Oslo, nor from MQA itself.

Still this licence fee should not be a showstopper. I'm sure someone has
a clever solution to that. Maybe even as part of your Tidal streaming
service to Squeezebox. Meaning your Tidal hi-fi subscription will cover
it. 

Those who know this much better than me, must hava a technical solution

Hi Michael I'm a newbie to the LMS CLI and have only just discovered the
API for the Web server ( which is v impressive ) but yes it would be
useful to me as I'm rewriting my documenter to utilise the web api
instead of the db ( will this new request also be available via the web
API ?) Thanks for your help.
