Hi Eric
Would you be able too describe the decoder you were using or heard and if the recorded material was identified by the decoder/player as being MQA files.
I was hoping that the MQA format would result in overall better recordings, not that I am anxious to start over or replace a lot of my current media. Even though my best source is my Turntable, I am not a advocate of any one particular media. I believe that all source equipment are recording dependent. I do believe that if all steps in the analogue process are of the highest caliber, that vinyl has the advantage, but with this in mind, I have a lot of poorly recorded LP's and superbly recorded CD's / DSD/SACD. I was disappointed to hear your observation of MQA files, I was hoping that process would improve the overall sonic quality of recordings and be a reliable source for quality recordings. I guess I will have to listen for myself, but do value your opinion
