If you want MQA leave it off it's a pass through
Is there a way/workaround to avoid the 'noise' when switching from one rate to another?
Not having that problem with Meridian. Sorry I'll try and research to help you. I put back my Oppo 105 set up as a Dac only no problem and the rate is constantly changing from song to song.
Interesting post above [@=/u/65761/Currawong]@Currawong[/@] - I'm just listening to the 24/96 versions of the tracks and there seems to be a decent improvement, particularly in the drums. I'm interested to hear what the file would sound like fully "unfolded".
Agreed. A few I'm familiar with, such as The Doors' albums sound great, but then I know those albums were well-made to begin with. At some point I'm thinking of level-matching, then A/B'ing my CD rips or HDTracks masters (depending what I have) versus the TIDAL Master versions with their decoding. Also, since a lot of people seem to be very confused by MQA, I might make a video about it, including my opinions.
Am I getting any benefit from Masters if my DAC is only 16bit 48khz?
Thank you kindly. I have a 2012 iMac which has Optical.
In theory, it won't be able to play or it will downscale. But what DAC is only 16/48? I have a vintage R2R DAC from 1992 that can do 24/88...
If you're asking whather you'll get any benefit if your DAC can't decode MQA, the answer is yet, assuming your DAC can do 24/96, which most DACs I'm aware of can.
I got a drop-out about an hour into listening...not sure what caused it but has anyone else experienced the same?
