HiFi Rose RS audio & video streaming D/A preamplifier | .MQA audio: What is it? How can you get it?

 

Music streaming services are now the main medium through which many of us listen to music. Spotify is set to join that crop later this year with its Spotify HiFi tier, too. But what about hi-res audio by which we mean above CD quality? The first service to offer hi-res streaming was Qobuz, followed by Tidal and, more recently, Amazon.

Our favourite music streaming service , Tidal launched its now-established Tidal Masters hi-res library four years ago, and it uses MQA technology to make it possible. So what is MQA audio?

How has it helped hi-res streaming become a reality? And what other music listening experiences is it behind?

MQA claims its tracks use a similar bandwidth to that required for CD-quality streams. You will need compatible hardware, such as a music streamer or portable music player, or software such as the Tidal desktop app, to decode the MQA files. And this is no pie-in-the-sky promise; the hardware is available. And, now we're some years into its existence, there's plenty of it. As for hi-fi kit, MQA compatibility is only going one way — up.

If you don't have any of the above hardware, then you can still play Tidal's "millions" of Masters tracks through the Tidal desktop, Android and iOS apps, which can decode and play them through your, say, phone or Macbook.

However, the only way to entirely unpackage an MQA file for playback, and therefore give you a more accurate representation of the file, is by pairing the app with a MQA-compatible product as listed above that takes the decoding process away from the software the Tidal app. With major music labels such as Universal , Warner Bros and Sony Music offering music in MQA, we wouldn't be surprised if more music streaming services got in on the action too. Deezer announced a partnership with MQA back in September , but all has gone quiet on that front since.

And if you're looking to play such purchased files through a PC or laptop, dedicated desktop music player software, such as Audirvana and Roon , also support MQA. In , MQA channelled this experience into a new format — The Masters Sessions — through a partnership with one of its hardware partners, Bluesound. These sophisticated audio soirees comprise live concerts, streamed in MQA studio quality, to over esteemed audio dealerships around the world, played through each dealer's Bluesound MQA-enabled audio players.

The initiative is still young — only a few sessions have been hosted so far — but there are more to come! YouTube channel using MQA tech. Rumours have long since suggested Apple is planning to deliver hi-res audio through Apple Music , but we aren't holding our breath.

Instead, we've established an effective if not particularly elegant workaround on how to play hi-res music on your iPhone. Could Apple one day use MQA and deliver hi-res music? It seems unlikely in the near future, but, as goes the expression, never say never. One thing's for sure, for anyone with an interest in audio quality, MQA is a technology that demands to be heard.

During her eight years in the hi-fi industry, she has been fortunate enough to travel the world to report on the biggest and most exciting brands in hi-fi and consumer tech and has had the jetlag and hangovers to remember them by.

I believe that many other Tidal users are figuring out this too. Probably the easiest way is through Tidal's desktop application.

Just make sure that your sound output settings are bit and 96kHz. The Tidal mobile apps don't encode MQA-files, so with them you will need an encoder. With Apple airplay, bluetooth or HEOS, you are limited to 44,1 kHz, so if you want to move the sound to your home studio, you will still need to figure out a way to get the sound from the encoder to the AWR.

The DACs I would leave to hifi-enthusiasts. What Hi-Fi? It is more nonsense from Bob Stewart. MQA has been proven to be lossy, adds ringing to the file, not takes it away, Is not higher that 48KHz as the supposed 3rd unfold is just oversampling method, pays Bob Stewart and his ilk a small amount for every part of the chain MQA is used on, sounds better because the file is db louder than a same FLAC version of the file. MQA also adds a watermark, which hasn't been turned on yet, but as soon as it is one will have to pay more to play the files.

MQA is all about squeezing the end user while giving nothing in return. This is there little bait and switch game. I really won't be desperate for an MQA device now.
