Modern MQA recordings at 24/48 or 96 resolution (Digital reference) Have extraordinary sound quality which has to be attributed to better quality equipment and MQA working in harmony. From my point of view, it would appear to make higher res versions unnecessary going forward.


No 18 in the Hall of fame smile I have simple tastes; I am content to settle for the best:
GIK monster bass panels, rear wall. QNAP TVS 471i3. Roon into DSP5200SE via 210/ 218 zone... Explorer 2. Bluesound Pulse 2, Mini & Flex. 596v1, 518, Foxsat HD, Sony BDP, Pioneer 5090, 2 Chromecast's for LRB videos. MS200 to F80 for a Roon zone

+ 1 Chris. My musical adventure is partially a result of the pandemic.
My ears and brain will be my arbiter and consequential to my future enjoyment of available music.

I do wonder if any focus on the 'origami' and unfolding has been unhelpful in terms of it's relationship to the established model of what Hi Res is, in terms of bit depth and sample rates? 16/44 MQA may be showing us a much more revolutionary/transformational model for digital audio?

Despite the very vocal detractors, perhaps MQA is more radical than anyone dared consider?

It's extremely radical -- a true paradigm shift -- and that is a problem for many people, both in terms of their understanding and their acceptance.
