MQA thoughts

@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. 

@lordmelton 

Never heard of it, thanks for the link

SIGH Discogs doesn't properly navigate to MQA discs

@tweak1 Unfortunately there is no master list of MQA recordings that I know of.

On Discogs search for an album you're interested in and click on master release

Then choose CD and country Japan.

All the Japanese versions will be shown including MQA if available.

Also search MQA CD on Ebay this will bring up a lot of titles and you can compare prices.
