Yeah Randyhat, I just listen to what sounds good to me. But live and let live, if someone gets their panties bunched up by MQA and doesn't like it, so be it.
What happen to MQA on Tidal?
After listening to Tidal only on my phone the last few weeks, I went to stream on my home system but soon realized all my MQA tracks were no longer showing up and the MQA parameters were absent in my streaming settings. I see Tidal is in "administration" (Chapter 11???). One of the main reasons I subscribed to Tidal was MQA and purchased a DAC that could decode the format. I think I should have at least been informed by Tidal if it was cancelling MQA. Any thoughts?
I know a lot of people hate (hated) MQA, but like any format I have listened to (Vinyl, CD, SACD, FLAC, MQA, etc.) , some things sound great and others on a plain old red book CD sounds better.

Final response below from Tidal, basically it is what it is, MQA settings are a thing of the past. See the link from Tidal below. I'm not one to jump on bandwagons but it seemed a lot of people liked MQA and it seemed like it was here to stay. Like others posted here, some formats sound better than others when they're done correctly, I have some Hi-Rez FLAC recordings that sound great and others not so much, same for DSD, SACD, CD, vinyl, etc. Thanks all for your responses. So far most of what I have played from Tidal is CD quality. From Tidal:

Atmos is the industry standard for movies. It is not going away. Apple and Amazon have embraced it for audio. It is not going away. Most people who heard MQA on a properly set up system were not impressed. Anyone who has heard properly mixed Atmos music on a properly set up system is blown away. It is simply incredible. Most people who disparage Atmos Music have not heard it properly set up end of story
