Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion MQA - Related technology, products and music MQA listening impressions (with a MQA decoder)

I have seen that my post from last Saturday is no longer here - server problems ?!

Since last week, I can now listen to the 818v3 and DSP8000USE MQA.

This step is a milestone in my audiophile history! I have - since listening experiences exceed my tonal highlights at perfectly recorded LP's on several high-profile analogue and digital high-end systems. This clarity, positioning of the instruments and voices and presence is phenomenal. A tremendous dynamism and naturalness that has totally met me at the weekend for a long time.

I dislike looking for effusive words like wine connoisseurs with its "Wine poetry", but when I hear a conserved music recording which touched me so deeply and makes me real happy - that is an intense emotional experience.

Again and again I thought - "Now I invest more money in my Meridian system - I'm actually crazy!" (My M-system does not reflect my income or my assets - but my passion for music and their quality play) Short - I do not regret my past M-Investments. MQA does not promise too much.

Highlights of my recent MQA-listening experiences are Magnificat Arnesen with Nidarosdomens Jentekor, Trondheim Soloist, Spes - Cantus, Frode Fjellheim & Tove Ramlo-Ystad and because otherwise I preferred Jazz listen to like from the 2L catalog Hoff Ensemble - Quiet Winter Night - on acoustic jazz project. And as mentioned in the last post, my favorite album so far BNB - A song frå dei utsungne stunner

- ... I'm waiting for the entire music catalog (especially jazz) on TIDAL in MQA !!!

Best regards
