This is the definitive death blow to this snake oil, once and for all. If there is anyone left out there after this ordeal that purports MQA does what the marketing claims it does, they should seek professional help.

If MQA figured out how to compress audio data beyond flac, aka they somehow improved upon lossless data compression. Screw audio and music making, that's peanuts. They should get into the data center/data warehouse business and take the S3 business from amazon. That's the multi-billion dollar business.

I cancelled my tidal subscription and switched to deezer after I saw that master and hifi quality were the same. I set tidal to hifi quality to avoid mqa but now I see that doesn't matter.

God I feel so vindicated in dismissing this codec from the outset. This is truly the end of discussion on the matter. Great post, thanks for sharing.

EDIT: Still have my flair! Fuck MQA.

MQA Sucks. I don't understand why anyone chooses it over lossless, or even spotify. I still think you need to cool it with the ridiculous ASR conspiracies but at least there is some empirical evidence here.

Is mqa/meridian an investor in Tidal? I really don't understand why tidal is shooting themselves in the foot at the behest of mqa. Surely people who can afford tidal can afford a decent Internet connection... They probably already watch 4k hdr movies on Netflix etc.. So why cling on to mqa against customer's wishes?
