Looks like MQA/Tidal got hard exposed via Golden Sound and doesn't look good for the industry 'experts' seen to be loving it on Stereophile's MQA 'Yes or No' video. How very enlightening indeed. Great to see who the real audio engineers with integrity are like PS Audio here. Well done.

The balls on this guy. This is a great demonstration of how to be both a scientist and a business owner. Seek the truth, know the truth, speak the truth, but listen to your customers and build what they want.

Nice to see a manufacturer who has worked with mqa being honest about it. Thank you very much for that.

FLAC and CDs are good enough. If you think you need 'better', DSD is an option.

It's a cruel joke that once we got digital, with the widest dynamic range we are ever going to need, popular music reduced dynamic range to nothing. We finally can all have an Olympic sized swimming pool, and nearly all are filled with 18 inches of water.

Refreshing to hear an honest opinion on MQA. Qobuz doesn't use MQA, just regular PCM up to 192 24Bit.

How is MQA created

Thanks Paul I always found CD Quality to be better then MQA. MQA always seemed to missing something. Also switched to Quobz from Tidal since Tidal is converting everything to MQA. I have not heard DSD because if its limited availability. I hope some day it becomes more mainstream.

So if I wanted to buy a PSA DAC, am I obligated to pay the royalties, or do you also offer a non-MQA option?
