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...

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

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...

...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.”

Why "Supports MQA decoding and MQA-CD’ ! Non MQA compliance is why I like original.

Why you consider MQA which is loosy format better than FLAC files? I personally find kind of a nightmare MQA authentication system with DACs compatibility and the degree of detail is fewer than FLAC. As far as I know Tidal is going to gradually replace MQA by FLAC hi-res files because of...

Yeah, MQA is bizarre, and even worse than some mp3 files. Also my DAC do crazy things sometimes when changing from CD to MQA and reverse… Apparently they are gradually changing MQA to CD or hi-res, at least I red comments telling that

Probably now you have to pay for the exclusion of MQA.

I think it’s awfully interesting how Topping, SMSL et al have been eschewing MQA of late. The cynic in me wonders how beholden to Tidal these DAC manufacturers are—is it a coincidence that now that Tidal has gone FLAC MQA is going by the wayside as well, or is it just because MQA went belly up?

MQA is output by every CD player or digital CD transport via the digital interface. It only requires a DAC that can process MQA via this digital interface. There is no processing in MQA that can happen before the digital interface. So you can really use any CD player with a digital interface...

When one manufacturer offered MQA then they all piled on. I hope this is a start of the equalizer competition for DACs instead of paying extra for MQA licenses which don't do anything. Let the DAC parametric EQ arms race begin!

Maybe that means "F-no MQA". My Chinese is very rusty.

Qobuz sounds better on my systems. Tidal will be better than Qobuz for MQA songs format. MQA is the best of all.

I have 2 dac's Topping ex5 and Smsl dl200.. in bout is same (bout are MQA).. Upsampling to 96 :) I can tray at work tomorrow with Topping DX3pro+ If I not forget to take Amazon tablet ;p

https://www.tpdz.net/productinfo/1141825.html MQA full decoder

Connected DAC to WiiM mini. To get full unfold of MQA I have to set DAC to renderer only. Magenta led turns on in this case. But WiiM is limited to 96kHz max in this case. I suppose that DAC is not MQA decoder in order to get higher resolution. It seems that it is just renderer. Correct?

Yes, there are still plenty of MQA tracks. Tidal has created two tiers: HIGH, that means CD resolution, and MAX. Inside MAX, there are again two tiers: FLAC where there are all tracks that are 24 bits, and MQA, where we have the remaining MQA tracks.

It doesn't make any difference; MQA is a well perpetrated lossless scam, so the farther away you get from it, the better it is for you. Ah, its "inventor" company is bankrupt, BTW (or "in administration", as our fellow Brits like to call it)

MQA's last gasp. LOL
