thank you for the recommendation, I purchased and downloaded two MQA albums, the Buena Vista Social Club MQA remaster and Mozart:Requiem. I would have purchased an ECM recording, but they weren't for sale to US residents.

Of course, the Buena Vista Social Club was a big seller on CD format around late 97/98 (also released to DVD Audio in small quantities but never purchased by myself).

The 2L MQA releases have showcased the Audio quality of MQA when introduced into the chain of exacting recording/producers, this is the first MQA recording I have come across that allows me to compare 16/44.1 CD quality and MQA 24/96 unfolded quality.
