    MQA: Revolutionary British streaming technology

    1. Perfectly reasonable attitude 2. Always good to see others views, its not healthy to just consider views that simply agree with your own 3. Calling for proof of claims is also perfectly reasonable 4. Calling for proof but in doing so making claims about MQA, Bob Stuart using derogatory...

    MQA: Revolutionary British streaming technology

    ​Sorry but your response in point one still falls down completely. Again, following your argument we can be content on buying kit which sounds absolute rubbish compared to others because we can rely on the graphs etc telling us something its better.  I read with my eyes but listen with my ears...

    MQA: Revolutionary British streaming technology

    ​From this I draw the conclusion, (rightly or wrongly), that opting for something that does not sound as good is the way to go because the graphs say its better despite what my ears are telling me.   In the end it does not matter one little bit, if after extended listening you think A is...

    ​They have it right as regards value for money, for very little they get a great deal.  Right as regards to sound quality that is something quite different. My comment about educating was not in respect of MQA but of high quality audio in general. Whether the general public themselves want to be...

    ​I could respond to all your comments but it would be just dealing with semantics which would be boring for you, me and everyone else so I will restrict myself to two points:   I'm not convinced that the general public simply does not care about sound quality but rather most have not got a...

    Some doubters make not like it, but MQA really has in fact arrived and the public if they wish can access it. How well consumers take it up in the future is something we can all have an opinion on but no one knows. Two out of the three major record labels signing up to MQA means in any bodies...

    ​Luddite - Nah not me, I'm still on the fence trying to be open minded. Ouch! another splinter   Buy another copy of the White Album, no need I will just have another version to stream

    Whatever your stance regarding MQA, it seems the MQA ball is certainly gathering momentum now that Capitol, (including all its many recording labels), has now signed up. The dead on arrival dismissive mentioned by some appears to be a little premature

    Totally agree, I have no intentions of playing semantics and will leave it there and let others interpret what they thought regarding the validity of my comments one way or the other.

    watchnerd said:   "I'm a firm believer that DSP, both in the form of active speakers with DSP crossovers and for room EQ, is the future direction of meaningful improvements in home audio playback.   This runs from modestly ambitious speakers like the KEF LS50 Wireless up to the Kii Three and...

    So often comments made in this thread are presented as science but are actually just opinions and speculation. "presented much of the data in very convoluted ways..." this is simply an opinion "... where the only purpose appears to be deliberate attempt to make it far more difficult than it...

    Things seem to have started to move regarding MQA and it seems as if it is not quite DOA as some on the forum have pronounced. I gather that Tidal have just made available over 160 MQA albums for streaming including quite a number of big name artists such as Beyoncé, Fleetwood Mac, Doors...

    I have no issues with people expressing opinions but too often it is presented as evidence/facts. Sorry but I still disagree and maintain the sebnt acne is not logical. Because pre Meglean there was no known evidence of the world being round did not mean it was flat despite the all perceived...

    My comment "Wife streaming tv, son playing X-box on line, daughter streaming Spotify whilst on line and me trying to listen to Tidal premium - not everyone has fast broadband and for many of us file size is important." is simply not wrong, the statement stands on its own merits. The fact that...

    So are you claiming that the material referenced is extensive deliberately to confuse and discourage people from scrutinizing it, if so what is your evidence or is this just a biased opinion?   Your last sentence simply expresses your opinion and is simply not a logically valid argument.
