What I want to say is this.
Yes the majority of 44.1kHz 16Bit MQA releases are different and to my ears and brain better than, the original 44.1kHz 16bit releases (but this is personal).
The MQA version is mostly more dynamic.
I can say no more than that, but do the comparison yourself.
Try Al Stewart Year Of The Cat. This album highlights the differences I hear and appreciate.
Yes, you are right. I can hear the difference. But for an even punchier example try Jeff Beck, "Blast from the east" on
Jeff Beck Who Else. This is on standard 16/44.
