Has anyone been able to find MQA offerings on Tidal via Roon/Sonic Transporter?

So is this the bottom line to tidal users with basic DACS

TO get a real benefit of MQA you need either a
1) a MQA enabled dac
2) A dAc that decodes higher then 44/16
and/or
3) some users report slightly better sound listening to MQA tracks via tidal on a regular doc

Definitely something to read: http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/mqa-spectrum-plots-31199/

MQA is a lossy format, no matter how they present it.

I think I typed in my SSN, branch of service (Navy) and discharge date. It may have changed since then. I've been a member for a long time. I don't remember having to scan and upload my DD-214 or any other documents.

Thanks for the heads up on the veteran's discount.  Just finished signing up with the discount!!

Hey Ed
The  MQA albums are also aailable under the artisits albums listing, but , if you stream through  Roon it  comes in  at  24/48 not 24/96.  I don't  see any MQA designation on the  album art, yo u just have to play it and see if it comes up as  "Master"

Not sure about the other interfaces

Cool! I hope more people on AudioCircle can get the discount!

What do you think? I've been listening to Tidal Masters for over a week now and all I can say is Wow! The Tidal MQA versions of Todd Rundgren sound better to me than the 192/24 versions I downloaded from HD Tracks a few months ago. Especially "Back to the Bars"! I always thought that was just a bad recording until today!


Cheers!

I've been a subscriber to Tidal almost from the beginning and never knew about the military discount.  I contacted them and received the discount before y renewal.  Saves me $100 a year.
