Well ofcourse it sounds different :) otherwise Tidal marketing guys done something wrong .
I would like to get my hands on some MQA tracks . Software decode them them to 24/192 then convert them to 16/44.1 and do a DBT . I've done similar things with my 24/96 and 24/192 Hd downloads and DVDA's. Downconverted the actual hd track to cd res NOT compared the CD version or some other version that's apples and oranges. Btw proper listening s test are hard to do , be 100% sure abut that the level is the same proper blinding and foremost is it the same thing ( same master ). So MQA brings something that not even proper 24/192 or 24/96 does not do ? OK. In level matched blind tests with the same material no human can hear the difference between 24/192 and 16/44.1 that's a fact. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
