I agree wth the statements re recording quality .
So wake me up when we routinely gets music released that actualy
has intrisinic sq beyound the humble cd :)
When the world has changed and all music has the same sq as those very
few audiophile recordings that achive this AND with real music
I really can't find why MQA betters timing and other things.
How i read it it simply is a streaming format that keeps bit depth and
HF content needed for what HiRes is touted.
So for a bitrate of 1MBit/s it may store bits 1-13 lossless and peels
away HF content that is of no use.
So PCM 24/192 in

Couldn't agree more. The problems with a lot of recorded music these
days is in the mixes and lack of dynamic compression (aka "the loudness
wars"). A different lossless
If you can reconstruct the original information, it's not lossy. Lossy
codecs don't reconstruct the missing information.
If it's not reconstructing irrelevant information, like ultrasonic sound
you can probably discuss to eternity but the codec then is technically
lossy.
A/D or D/A conversion is n

Using your definition doesn't that include all digital audio systems
known to date. The CD system is based on samples of an analog sound that
is "sampled" at a defined rate and

Nice of you to ignore everything else I said (for which you presumably

You're right, I've not heard MQA. I have no need to.

It would appear that MQA is as much to do about audio timing information
as it is about frequency information? I'm thinking along the lines of

Hmmm. A few quotes from VirusKiller's post:

I think it's actually a pretty clever move. Use high sample rates so
that you can tell people you are really high definition but just throw
away all that useless information about the pink noise in the ultrasonic
frequency ranges. All the HD-marketing bang for CD-quality
bandwidth-bucks.
All fine
While this sounds interesing, it does not (IMHO) fix the real problem,
which occurs during recording. So much music, especially classical
music, is already crippled with auto-gain, bad mic placement (too close,
too far, too many, too few) and similar issues.
All that information that gets thrown a

Hi, Tidal is only available in UK and USA. If you live in Germany you
can't get it yet.
Just use WiMP Hifi instead.

How can I create a Tidal trial account?
If I enter my mail address on http://getlossless.com I just can join the

I already installed the ickstream Plugin on my LMS 7.9 but since I do
not get any Tidal credentials, I can't give it a try.

needs.
