Talking of Sam, try Sam Amidon.
Two MQA albums found so far, Lily-O and The Following Mountain. Available from Tidal and 7 Digital.
Well beyond categorisation and a real challenge, but well worth the effort of a subjective listen.
Bill Frisell on guitar is a highlight.

Lila Downs - Salón Lágrimas y Desco
Not MQA, but who cares. Currently near the front of TIDAL's Recommended Album list.

Pity that the new Roger Waters isn't MQA. True, but how does it sound? I listened to the new remix of Sgt. Pepper: both the immersive mix and audio quality are outstanding. Dare I say it, very much "the sound of the studio"... [I'll get my hat]

I thought it sounded pretty poor, a bit muddy when things got going.
No Darling, I've had it months!

I have it on right now. It sounds how typical Roger Waters albums sound, not bad but always wishing for better sound quality and knowing MQA will be better, heck what are they waiting for. Maybe it was a bit too soon for Sony/Columbia to release in MQA.
As usual with RW, I like the album.
Cheers!
