Why is there all of this theory talk about mqa vs hi-res vs red book? It sounds like a theory cable discussion where a guy with some electrical engineering background says that in no way in hell a cable should sound different than another.
MQA has been out for a while and growing in # releases. I have the luxury to compare MQA/DSD/redbook/vinyl for a few albums and it is very interesting to hear the differences between each version and there are clearly better mediums. I have seen some MQA albums with up to 192khz, which is higher than the stated 96khz above. Roon shows you exactly what the file type is and my dac is capable to stream dsd/redbook/hi-res from my local server as well as tidal/internet without using the inferior USB technology.
I could care less if a study on the web or that a reviewer indicates that ‘x’ is better than ‘y’. Go out and listen for yourself, you can’t get better than hearing for yourself in your own room using your own equipment.
