MQA thoughts


My SMSL PL200T actually reads MQA. I bought 2 and appreciate how they sound. Anybody have some to sell?

@lordmelton Good question. The Berkeley display only shows MQA, not the final bitrate. If I understand correctly, MQA compresses the signal and then restores it to a facsilime of its original bitrate, whatever that was. I never subscribed to Tidal and I don't know if the MQA versions it had displayed the original bitrate.

@8th-note Yes you are correct regarding the compression that MQA uses I believe there is a way to rip MQA and it's brother MLP but not enough hours in the day. Ripping Blu-ray drives me mad as it is.

@tweak1 Have you ever checked out Discogs.com for MQA Cds? Search Japanese releases.
