OTOH, flying out of Denver has presented real problems in the past. 😉 Perhaps a little over a month ago or so, the temp was so high in Denver (98F) that the Pressure Altitude (altitude equivalent to a standard temp and pressure day) was equal to approximately 10,000 feet and the small plane I fly was unable to take off with enough fuel left over to make the flight back to Minneapolis. We had to wait until the following morning to leave. crenca and rando 2 No electron left behind. Link to comment

Homework is now mandatory when the job can be done remotely, and still the country has no internet outages. The data is more distributed over the whole day, while before the peaks were when most people came home. It's actually flatten the curve, but applied to the bandwidth usage over the day. So in Belgium, MQA is not even need to have to stream hi-res. In these drastic times, ISP's who ripped people off by extreme overbooking, will now need to take more countermeasurements and capacity upgrades will happen much sooner. Even before corona, friends in the hifi industry (hifi press) publically complained their ISP had such a low upload speed it was unworkable. They would drive to public wifi places just to get their job done. With corona and the forced stay home, those ISP's are now completely saturated, and MQA is not a solution to this problem as nothing works well. ISP's will now make quantum leaps during & after corona, so this never happens again. Quantum leaps in bandwidth which expire the shelf life of MQA's compression benefit, which could also be done with flac entropy optimizations. Thats not an issue on fiber connections, only on old fashioned copper which most are still on here in the US. No electron left behind. Link to comment

When most people don't even care, you can say pretty much anything you want. I guarantee I could talk to most of the people I know about this and their eyes would gloss over before they walked away.

You come from a geriatric society MQA is blatantly tempting labels with DRM dacs. Anyone supporting this is part of the problem, you've done your tests. Sell that crap and move on. To do anything more is to be a foolish consumer I don't know why you would trust Americans to control a proprietary format like this and support people funding it. But let me assure you if they did get us all to get MQA dacs. They would tighten down everything, and we would be lucky to play our own music without ads And of course i'm xenophobic, i'm American. It doesn't have quite the same connotation as some one from a blood and soil nation being xenophobic. Jeez, it's no surprise why the rest of the world thinks Americans are rude and obnoxious.

Popular Post AudioDoctor Posted February 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2021 All other arguments aside, the fact that Qobuz sounds better than TIDAL, and not by a small margin, should be enough to seal the deal. I will admit I have a TIDAL subscription but that's because I have people in my house that like music that Qobuz doesn't have. If that were no longer an issue I would drop TIDAL like a hot potato. However, I do not infect my personal Euphony Server with TIDAL, that stays in the Roon library on an entirely different machine, I have some standards... ;-) Shimei and JoeWhip 1 1 No electron left behind.

Are you sure you have exclusive mode and force volume checked and loudness normalisation unchecked in the Tidal client? I am going to have to politely disagree with you. botrytis and MikeyFresh 2 No electron left behind. Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 10 hours ago, Abtr said: I know how USB works and I know the bits are bits discussion. I agree that bits are not just bits in this context. Streamer hardware (especially computers) can be very noisy and some of this electrical noise may audibly end up in the analog stage of a USB DAC. However, using *the exact same streamer and DAC*, I don’t think anyone can demonstrate that streaming bits from a Tidal server sounds different (or worse) than streaming the same bits from a Qobuz server. But again, this is off topic and has nothing to do with MQA. Well... I can hear the difference, easily and immediately, on a range of equipment from a Schiit Modi Multibit and a RPi4 to a Lampizator Pacific and a Sonore Signature Rendu Optical SE, using any software, or connected in any way, even direct to my desktop via USB.
