I am interested that you couldn't hear any difference in Tidal 44.1 vs 320kbs, Alex. Having not heard MQA as yet, I am impressed that you felt it DID make a difference when you heard it. I have an Explorer at the ready for the MQA experience, but must say I am loving red book whether streamed stored or spun and I enjoy hearing material via Tidal or Qobuz (like their catalogue) that I am keen to hear once but wouldn't wish to buy. I much prefer 44.1 or greater, to 320k or less, and of course vinyl is still fab!
