Hi
I just want to mention that these labels are not listed under partners on the MQA site.
So one can just wonder if there something strange going on or are they just slow on MQA on updating the site?
Cheers

Hi,
I found the David Elias website via a Tweet from MQA UK.
At the time (July 21 2016), he was offering free MQA samples. Since then he has offered another MQA special and currently "CD Masters with MQA encoding" for US$5 as follows.
To make it official, for the next 30 days you can download any of the first 4 CDs I created back in the day (1995 to 2000) as CD Master downloads for $5.
Cheers
Bruce
PS I'm enjoying the blue glow of the MQA Studio light!

For my birthday Hectorson gave me download of Sarah Marie Young MQA album "Little Candy Heart" from Highresaudio, it is very well produced and shows what MQA can do.
Worth a listen.

@Dpsjp. You mean FEAR? I have looked at their racket album website but nothing about a MQA release. Can you share a link?

I have enjoyed Hoff Ensemble "Quiet Winter Night" MQA version from 2L
Good recording of all instruments but especially the percussion.
Female vocals good but male vocals could be stronger.
Great to hear more than just "Blagutten" test track.
Very much worth a listen, different but also excellent on non MQA zones here especially through 5200 SL fed from MS600 / AC200.
Also I have never heard my 5K + Subs setup produce better definition.
Wonderful production.

I don't know why the MQA website doesn't make more of the releases happening... ECM albums are now becoming available and are fantastically recorded and produced. (This is great news!!!) No surprise there given their quality sans MQA.
Three minutes or so to download from Highresaudio.
I like the Hoff album too but the Andrew Cyrille Quartet, Jakob Bro and the Kashkashian Shostakovich are just fabulous as I love the music. In particular I love the way MQA produces consistently a fabulous sense of acoustic space and transients whilst managing to combine this very unusually with a lovely natural warmth and beauty of tone that is perfect for revealing how excellent the ECM recordings are.
Without MQA ECM recordings if they have any fault can sound a tad cold... via MQA ... great!
You can of course sample fragments of the music on Highresaudio's website and choose what you like. I am looking forward to listening to Arvo Part recorded with his input and featuring his favourite choral group Vox Clamantis.
Ahhhhh the music...

Racket Records, the Marillion music webshop, responded to my question if and when they would release FEAR in MQA format. Their response was "We will not be selling the new album in any digital format."
The from HighResAudio aquired MQA studio master (17 euro) compared to (Tidal) CD quality, well no comparison, MQA is best choice. Altough, i generally struggle with the Marillion productions which don't do their music enough justice IMO.
This studio master shows MQA. 96k on 818 and DSP displays.

What a bizarre comment from the label. Doesn't make any sense really.
