Meridian Unveils New "lossless" compression format for streaming audio called MQA


Recommended Posts

Meridian

 

 

Nearest I can figure, this new MQA system allows 24/96 and 24/192 content to be streamed (or packaged) in a digital "container" about the size of a RedBook CD (I.E. about 700 MB). Whether this will stimulate interest in high-res streaming for internet radio or sites like Spotify or not is anybody's guess, but obviously Robert Stuart of Meridian seems to think so!

 

 

Read and discuss!

Couple threads ongoing about this already.

 

Here is a description of how it works form patent application.

A bit of a block diagram.

And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality.
