Why is that the recently released DAC's still carry the " Futile, Pointless Bag - MQA " For example : https://shenzhenaudio.com/collections/dac/products/s-m-s-l-su9-ultra-ak4191-ak4499ex-digital-to-analog-convertor-dac?_pos=3&_fid=f56cc206a&_ss=c

Time for an update. Lenbrook bought the MQA IP for $75k, The SCL6 IP for $25k and equipment for $25k. From the Administrator’s Progress Report with Pounds converted to dollars. Block Inc has put a hard cap on employees at 12,000 in their latest earnings letter. They currently have about 13,000...

So Tidal offers Low, High, and "Max" quality now ("Max" instead of HiFi I think...) Sometimes "Max" ends up being stored and sent by Tidal as MQA, and sometimes, FLAC (usually 24/96 FLAC, iirc). None of my DACs support MQA - Topping G5, Topping DX1, RME Babyface Pro, Arcam rDac. I thought my...

...Corp., a diversified, privately-owned Canadian enterprise with activities in brand development, technology, and distribution in both residential and commercial audio and the communication sectors, has acquired the assets of MQA, a UK-based industry leader in high-resolution audio encoding.”

HI, I am new to the forum. Seeking some advice and help please. I brought a Topping d70 dac from the USA to home in the UK. I plugged the unit into the socket at 230v. Apparently there is a voltage selection switch in the unit, which I did not realise. The unit for selected for 115v. I did...

Hello everyone, New to DAC-universe, looking for ‘the best one’ and after many, mostly joyful ;-), hours of reading I finally shortlisted Gustard & Matrix. Keen on hearing expert views I look forward to your opinions & experiences with (either of) the two. (Please just those 2, shortlist...

MQA approached JAY-Z's streaming service company, Tidal, with a plan to make everyone buy gear that puts their chip in it first, saying it will make it sound the same as the original master, without him having to send it all, knowing that people would still go for it.

I thought only Tidal has MQA. I only have Qobuz, so imagine my surprise when I saw the MQA indicator on my DAC lit. I was playing this album Dominique Fils-Aime. Stay Tuned http://open.qobuz.com/album/ynexny78by8uc This album is marked as ’Hi Res: 24bit. 44.1 khz’. When I play it My WiiM...

As reported here https://www.whathifi.com/news/mqa-is-going-into-administration "Following the recent positive reception to MQA’s latest technology (SCL6), there has been increased international interest in buying MQA Ltd. At the same time, MQA’s main financial backer is seeking an exit. In...

...E50. I have Tidal Hifi+ running to a WIIM Pro, connected to a Topping E50 via coax, then out to the receiver via RCA. The E50 only does full MQA over USB so I know I'm only getting a limited version of the "master" tracks (render not full decode). *I'm not trying to get full MQA...

The main financial backers are seeking an exit. Looks like scamming people doesn't pay much anymore. https://www.whathifi.com/news/mqa-is-going-into-administration?fbclid=IwAR1hxJfqF1rjL7T9FUlfu6mBsn1qb1LFw1N-zDXaqQxjzT8VPRzSN2-PLaU

Guys, Im running Tidal because I like the app on the Mac and the music recommendations I get. None of my DACs support MQA. Would there be any benefit for me using the HiFi Plus subscription or is HiFi just fine? Would try myself if I had an MQA DAC available. I think Tidal can emulate...

NAD has announced a new network streamer. What I find interesting is that it seems to be claiming full MQA support, but has digital outputs. I distinctly remember the guy who made the MQA deep dive video claiming that digital outputs were disallowed by the MQA license. My Matrix Element M...

Tengo un topping E50 mqa y de un momento a otro el display que loco, decodifica bien pero no me muestra la opción USB y algunos caracteres no aparecen y algunas barras titilan y no debe ser así como si el display estuviera loco como ya dije, algun consejo de como arreglarlo saludos y gracias a...

Hi I'd like to get a DAC/Amp in my office for Tidal playback, hence I'd like something with MQA support. I currently own Hifiman Ananda (seems easy to drive), and plan to buy Sennheiser HD650. I'm looking for something portable so I can also use with iPhone and iPad as well, but the primary use...

For sale one of the best (for me the best in its size) mobile DAC/AMP Questyle M12 in excellent working/cosmetic condition with all accessories/original packaging. Price: 80 Euros

I just switched from Tidal to Qobuz since they don't support MQA, and I'd rather subscribe to a place that isn't paying royalties for it (more for the artists). I wanted to find out which of my library were actually MQA, and on Github there's a command line one here. You have to run it in a...

Sounds better than Apple music and amazon music for roughly 80% of songs. I selected songs with Masters fidelity. Unfortunately Tidal doesn’t have radio streaming stations like Apple does.
