You don't have to stream to get MQA. Look at this new release from Chicago, you can buy the "hirez" or MQA, whatever floats your boat. The drum solo on track #9, I'm a Man is a GREAT MQA demo IMO:

I know that wireless bandwidth will increase and this folding will not be necessary in the near future for most of us, but I don’t care to download music, or even buy music. I can be content with renting music by a streaming service, and maybe buying an album or cd after I have listened to many, many older familiar artists or new artists emerging daily on streaming sites.
No flames here, just not sure I get all the kickback on MQA. Albums are ok, cds are ok and so are new formats, I don’t see MQA lasting if the bandwidth really opens up..
