The unadulterated 24/192 download of WFTS destroys the MQA CD. Not even close.

I tried buying a track to compare but they want you to buy the whole album for $32.

Here is a site where you can download and compare many different formats for free:

MQA is now avgailable on all Android phones, in your car, on Sony Walkmans's, and in high end products like iFi's.
In other words MQA is taking high rez to the mass markets, something DVD-A, SACD, and DSD failed at doing.

I think the recent for the stellar MQA growth is simple, because it's better SQ than redbook, has a great catalog that is growing everyday, budget friendly, and now, easy to access at home, in the car, and on the go. What's not to like?
I congratulate iFi for updating all of their devices that are compatible, clear competitive advantage IMO.

Unscientific though it be, I prefer Tidal mqa to Qobuz.
