I think you have totally misunderstood what MQA is and offers. You should not tell direct lies like this. MQA is Lossless. No DRM. They do not want to abandon 16/44.1. And all major record companies support MQA, and actually have started the prosess of implementing MQA into their masters. Tidal will support MQA. I'm sure you are able to do a Google search for MQA (you may even limit it to the last week) http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/beyond-high-resolution/ http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f13-music-downloads-and-streaming/tidal-high-res-mqa-news-26734/ I can't understand why you are against implementing MAQ into Squeezebox, or have I misunderstood your post ? I like to use my Tidal hi-fi subscription with MQA on my Squeezebox Touch. (For hi res streaming). I think this is a fair request or ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R1200CL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102648 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
