  1. Wonder if we can do something akin to #MQA, encode the narrowband audio in such a way that a compatible decoder would restore a portion of the higher band spectrum that'd help with intelligibility. Perhaps this has already been done even. It'd have to somehow survive all the different codecs used in the wild for digital audio transmission in telecom though.
    #Opus #telephony

  2. Looking for some replacement for #spotify. Price raise again, sound quality still behind many other services.

    Maybe I give #deezer a shot.
    I also had #tidal for a while (thankfully they got rid of this #mqa #scam). Working nicely but lacking podcasts.
    #qobuz has smaller library than others.

  3. Here we go again. “Is TIDAL actually lossless? - STILL using MQA?” I really want all of the MQA gone. #tidal #mqa #audiophile #hifi #music

  9. #MQA won't be missed. It is a marginal improvement over HiRes #FLAC and proprietary, but 360 Reality Audio was an interesting experience.

  10. I know it's not a shared opinion, but personally, I'll miss MQA. There was often something special about MQA tracks that sets them apart and creates a unique listening experience.

    RIP MQA

  11. @benzucker yes, I saw the #mqa had gone under. What benefits did it bring? The format was bought by the owners of NAD.

  12. Oh wow. I just learned that the company behind the #mqa audio format has gone into administration about a year ago.

    While this is bad for them, #tidal took the opportunity to get rid of this supposed scam format and instead provide actual real lossless stuff via #flac.

  14. So, #MQA gets a lifeline from Lenbrook, but with #TIDAL giving it the cold shoulder, it's like being the last kid picked for the team. Any takers? 🎵🏀🚶‍♂️

  15. "MQA: Audiospezialist geht ins Insolvenzverfahren"
    stadt-bremerhaven.de/mqa-audio

    Auch das ist wohl eine gute Nachricht. Das ganze #MQA-Konzept erscheint mir technisch äußerst fragwürdig.

  16. 🎧🔊 TIDAL's announced on Reddit that they are soon introducing hi-res FLAC and that they are developing an API for developers.

    Will hi-res FLAC make you switch to Tidal?

    MQA's bankruptcy could be a tragedy for audiophiles. But let's look on the bright side: maybe now we can finally stop arguing about which streaming service has the best sound quality and start a new debate about the best brand of earplugs. #AudioJunkies #EarplugWars #Tidal #MQA #lossless #Audiophile

  26. Just had my high-fidelity IEMs tested by a colleague who understood the difference between listening to sound with bluetooth devices and experiencing music with wired IEMs.

    I'm always trying to explain what I feel when listening to music this way, but t's hard to describe an emotion while feeling it for yourself is always convincing.

  27. maybe Tidal is playing tricks on me, but i’m hearing some improvement to the sounds even on Hifi (not master). #HiFi #Tidal #LosslessAudio #MQA
