So just above 1 MHz To be fair though, this spec is still in draft.

I think here's the discussion when it was added.0000 : get from STREAMINFO metadata block
Yes, and where did I say otherwise?I always thought it was Josh Coalson who conceived it (circa 2000), before Xiph.org 'incorprated' it.
Even wikipedia provides this statement:
Developer(s): Xiph.Org Foundation, Josh Coalson, Erik de Castro Lopo

Linn gets a lot of flak (!) here because some (all?) of their stuff is overpriced, and for promoting subjectivism. I still like the stuff I've got, though.May I ask why just once?
Hasn't Linn done much good for the industry/consumers while things were still analog?
As I recall, Linn was also one of the original and DRM-FREE digital music purveyors, during the industry's transition.
I was agreeing with you and provided a name for some bonus points.Yes, and where did I say otherwise?
Easy, money.The real mystery is why someone like Bob Stuart, respected for Meridian digital products, would play any part in this.
I can't blame the company's that added MQA capabilities to their products.A lot of companies seem to have only included it because customers wanted it, so to that extent the subjectivist public do carry some responsibility, especially when they kept asking as the details came out.
If I had any interest at all in buying a TT, it could very well be a Linn Sondek.Linn gets a lot of flak (!) here because some (all?) of their stuff is overpriced, and for promoting subjectivism. I still like the stuff I've got, though.
But does it sound like the master tape or the artists intentions?And by the way, some MQA does sound absolutely fantastic
I did find it VERY interesting that in the main all the other streamers resisted the push for MQA ???My guess would be that enough people believed the hype for Tidal to feel that they needed to offer it, rather than have that custom go elsewhere.
Sorry, I thought you misunderstood what I said as I also mentioned Josh Coalson.I was agreeing with you and provided a name for some bonus points.
On FLAC and MQA - MQA was conceived as a big picture development - massively multichannel and presumably with developments like Atmos already in mind. FLAC was developed as an open source product - different ethos - and only had one eye on the future rather than both, as it were.I always thought it was Josh Coalson who conceived it (circa 2000), before Xiph.org 'incorprated' it.

No, I think what was said was pretty clear...English is not my native language, I use Google auto-translator. It may incorrectly translate what I really mean.
No, the most likely statement is: why does any of that matter? BluOS isn't magic. It's just multiroom streaming software like many othersIn fact, who among those present in this topic has the proprietary Lenbrook technique with BluOS in use? I'm afraid the answer is obvious, and most likely the statements will be in the style of "I'm not rich enough to throw money away."
Just curious, but where are you? You can put that in your Account > Profile if you like.English is not my native language, I use Google auto-translator. It may incorrectly translate what I really mean. Lenbrook equipment, for example, is all made in China. I have never had any complaints about its quality. I meant that maybe there was a place to be equipment that is manufactured by little-known companies. Sorry, please.
But.

Interesting indeed. I suspect Tidal needed a differentiator to justify their wildly overpriced $19.95 tier. MQA was there at the right time to fill that need and it appears to have benefitted both companies for a time. That’s all history now of course; it‘ll be interesting to see if Tidal survives against the big 3 tech streamers. It seems unlikely.I did find it VERY interesting that in the main all the other streamers resisted the push for MQA ???
They still have Roon and as long Qobuz availability remains limited to only a few countries, they should be okIt seems unlikely.
We shall see. It probably depends upon Dorsey's willingness to continue to pour money into a company that is bleeding profits. At least the class action case went their way, though the judge was pretty brutal in her assessment of the deal:They still have Roon and as long Qobuz availability remains limited to only a few countries, they should be ok
Time will tell, I'd hate to put money on things either way.That’s all history now of course; it‘ll be interesting to see if Tidal survives against the big 3 tech streamers. It seems unlikely.
The problem with Apple is they tend to restrict everything to Apple hardware. It is not likely we will ever be able to stream Apple music with ROON.Time will tell, I'd hate to put money on things either way.
For whatever reason (myth, BS, smart marketing?) both Tidal and Qobuz have gained a reputation in the believer community to have superior sound quality than the rest. I don't know if that can generate enough customers to keep them afloat or not.. Personally I'm thrilled with Apple even though I'm bias'd against the corp. Their multich-spatial catalog far exceeds all others in size and gets bigger every day.
So?For whatever reason (myth, BS, smart marketing?) both Tidal and Qobuz have gained a reputation in the believer community to have superior sound quality than the rest.
Yes, Apple and Sony have the budgets to support their attempts at an audio and music market DRM. MQA did not and lied about it being superior technology.The problem with Apple is they tend to restrict everything to Apple hardware. It is not likely we will ever be able to stream Apple music with ROON.
