Whither MQA

Elliot, I am back in NYC this week with my wife on holiday. It's been a while. Who is the OG Ray's Pizza these days

Tidal's server capacity will have to multiply somewhat, I expect they will increase prices for hi-rez.

I believe I just say they were dropping the price for Tidal's hi-rez tier probably as a way to counter Spotify's long past due announcement they were finally going to actually offer one.

Tidal's new hi-res FLAC option couldn't be more annoying | Digital Trends

Adding hi-res FLAC to Tidal is something audiophiles have wanted for years. But now that it's here, they're not going to be happy.

Mq"B-1" is not at all what people think it is, on either side of the debate, or even what "experts" or "insiders" think it is (or was or whatever!).
It does have buried in it somewhere a clever, non patent-able, "observation", about digital audio that had the potential to
increase the perceived quality of digital recordings. This was obfuscated by numerous other proprietary "patent-able technologies", and marketing.
I will leave it to the listener to decide whether this was of sonic benefit or detriment...
Customers did however insist on having it, just like a lot of other exciting Tech.

Sigh, this one is still MQA mush, hope they get round to eliminating these 16/44 MQA albums asap.
