Amazon are going to be about delivering Music at the best price possible, that will not include paying extra for an MQA license.


I have really enjoyed a few MQA tracks, but overall, I have not found many that are much better and some of the hi res stuff I have downloaded has been even better.

So how does one get Amazon Music HD through Meridian setup? Would a 210 do the trick?

My legacy 5200 are not MQA capable so happy to use a cheaper monthly HD streaming service...

I’ve just ordered the BluDento 5.0 aptX HD Bluetooth receiver I’m sure this would suit your needs, about £900 cheaper than the 210.

I’ve not owned both so can’t comment,however he’s not after MQA and this product should suit his needs.

Are you implying price always affects quality?

You were implying the BluDento was much better value, but this would only be the case if it sounded the same or better than the 210, so I wondered if you’d compared, that’s all.

No implications here.

You posted that after I questioned whether the sound quality was as good - obviously your implication preceded that which is why I wanted you to clarify.
