DSD coming to Qobuz streaming?


It looks like DSD files will soon stream on Qobuz - this may take some of the wind out of the sails of HDTracks and MQA. Some DSD recordings are already available for download, such as this classic from Boston.

I checked with Qobuz directly and was told there will be "an official announcement soon."

MQA is dead. It's dead, Jim.

Hallelujah. 

DSD files would be awesome but I doubt streaming it would be so easy. Not impossible but unlikely.

DSD downloads however sounds like a great match for Qobuz and I guess we're all sorry we didn't get that Boston download in DSD. That would been awesome.

Just shows you that even if Qobuz is performing an internal test (for purposes we can't conclude) users are likely to discover it. 

Bring on the DSD! 

MQA is dead. It's dead, Jim. Hallelujah. 

MQA will be featured on the new HDTracks streaming service.

Qobuz hinted at this years ago. 

Precisely in July 2022, when they said ”wait for a year”.
