MQA

[Audiophiliac]

It's all normal, of course. Right after "Smells Like Teen Spirit", (from the album "Nevermind"), they came out with Axe cologne.

MQA is going bankrupt! Yess! That means it's not possible for it to work, that mean's he'll have to take it off.
Now, if I still want to stick with him after that, I can just compare recommended playlists and default player sounds to choose. It sounds to me like the default player is the bigger difference than higher res, but within each, you could still tell you're getting more of it.
I dunno though, after this...
At least I didn't buy new gear with the chip.

Thanks, Roseval! Victory!
That means they have to have been sitting there thinking, damn, it's not going to work with people saying that stuff.
Yeah, but who had the best 'damn, they won't go for it stuff'? Let the internet records show...
First, I'd like to thank the guy with the video and the measurement device, after that, I just sat here thinking about it.
Before the offers start coming in, I'd rather become a video game hero, personally. Frame rates Bruce Lee could only dream of.
Too bad this thread won't get compressed, since nobody will have to search for MQA anymore.
The creator of MQA tried to fake compressing things even more. We should find out his name, and use it instead of snakeoil, that stuff sounds nasty.

Oh, maybe you've never listened to Jay-z before. He owns Tidal. He's a rapper who thinks drug dealers should be the entertainers. If you've ever heard anything about drug dealers, it's that they only ever want to water stuff down, so that they don't have to give people as much. That's why you should pay double and buy a chip.
Hey, here's one for the MQA fans: Why can't you use software that will compress your files above 44.1 into MQA, so that you can save space on your hard drives? You're wasting space if they're not all 44.1 MQA FLAC sized files. And why is his 44.1 streaming still 44.1, can't they MQA 44.1 files into 22khz streams?

You're better than most comedians people pay big $$ to see. Perhaps you should take it on the road?

Turns out MQA stood for Mighty Quick Abandonment

I thought we had this whole 'better than redbook' thing figured out with the Neil Young debacle.

That's a better one than snakeoil, actually.
Someone said he thinks snakeoil exists, but it's far from reality. How many subscribers does Tidal have?

What else would bigshot Headphoneous Supremus say if he had to?

He would say... "Say goodnight, Gracie."

 

[Audiophiliac]

Well, we'd better hope there's nothing wrong with whatever mqa stands for, then, otherwise...
Oh, I forgot what bigshot was talking about, that's the same as hotshot.
You must have MQA. I bet you think it's even better.

@Audiophiliac: So from the MQA example it seems you now understand that not everything that audio- and music companies want you to believe is true. And also that not everything enthusiastic followers of those companies believe (and believe to experience) is true. I hope this encourages you to think more critical about some of the many other claims that companies make, no matter how wide spread the believe in these claims is.

I was already saying that I understood that not everything everybody wants me to believe is true, by disagreeing that 44.1 digital files were audibly perfect. Even if you say you mean unaltered 44.1 is what 44.1 is supposed to be, does that mean it's getting played correctly?

Better tell us why MQA is better then, or else you'll have to be.

You're entirely in your own head. You've got no clue about what's going on outside it. I think you've done too many drugs.
