A Comparison of SACD vs MQA In Physical Format

I thought it was worth exploring, for tomorrow's future music format generations. 

I'm afraid that my own experience is insufficient; I only know what I like and what I like is not enough for me to know it all. What do you like and know?

A lossy format “could conceivably be the pinnacle of digital music.”  

 

Kill me now.

I went to the label website to see if I could find some information about the provenance of this album. Looks like it was recorded, mixed and mastered in 24/96 PCM. http://evosound.com/audiophile

 

I assume that means that the SACD is a PCM to DSD transcode, rendering this comparison essentially meaningless.

The problem being a closed format, controlled by one company or more open formats. Yes, companies would prefer closed as they can control it more.

 

No thank you.

I always liked moving targets.

I like your avatar, smooth sailing.
