This MQA announcement from UMG caught my eye: http://musically.com/2017/02/16/umg-backs-mqa-predicts-half-dozen-hi-res-streaming-launches-2017/
"“We don’t want to step across announcements that other companies will make, but we think that we could safely guide you in the expectation that there will probably be half a dozen services in the marketplace by the end of the year delivering this format.”
Nash declined to elaborate, although in a press release about hi-res streaming issued by the Digital Entertainment Group – backed by UMG and other labels – included promises from Napster, Pandora and HD Tracks."
That's exciting if it comes to pass as it might put pressure on bigger boys to also follow.
