Yeah. I wasted too much time looking into MQA to understand what it’s all about. It’s confusing to the consumer and marketed in a disingenuous way IMHO.
I’d rather just have FLACs even if they are CD quality without the MQA gumpf which looks to actually reduce resolution and add noise with just one unfold.
I just signed up for a Qobuz trial because of this thread!

Have to agree with you Craig. I prefer Qobuz myself and in non-scientific listening tests, I consistently preferred it to Tidal and to me it sounded closest to the quality of my CDs.
Given this latest update to the 3400 and while I still have access to Tidal for another 5 weeks, I'm going to do a few more tests, but doubt my mind will be changed. Also, from the changelog, I think Lyngdorf have improved their UPnP interface, so it will be interesting to see if Qobuz via their Beta UPnP has improved in terms of stability. I'd really like to be able to ditch Roon if possible.
