![]() ![]() The My Daily Discovery Mixes have been great for me. In the end MQA does sound pretty good and even if lossy its only lossy in the above 16-bit resolution and the only thing that really get real quality loss is above-Nyquist frequencies which cannot really be heard anyways. With MQA they can claim to be on par with 96KHz or even 192KHz. It would be simples if Tidal just streamed 24-bit 44.1/48KHz format rather than all this MQA nonsense but I also understand that should Tidal stream 24-bit/48KHz then a lot of people would not even consider it "high resolution audio" because of how much smaller number like 48KHz is compared to 96 or 192KHz. ![]() ![]() Usually noise floor of recording is higher than what 24-bit can encode so its possible to squeeze higher than Nyquist frequencies without too much of a sacrifice. Lossy nature of MQA only means its not quite full 24-bit/96KHz (let alone 192KHz) because 8 least significant bits of the stream contain not only least significant bits but also higher frequencies and meta-data. Second unfold is just applying fancy filters when resampling from 96KHz to 192KHz - hardly 'must have' feature, especially given above-Nyuquist information are heavily compressed anyways so its like trying to polish very rough surface using very fine sandpaper and claiming its perfectly flat. ![]()
