Thanks! Didn’t know you could select all. so for the next person, if you ”long hold” on a album you get an extra menu on top where you can pick ”select all”.

Out of ~800 tidal albums in my library ~150 had been converted to Mqa, was a real pain deleting them with Roon user interface. So stupid!
-
I hope Roon adds some other streaming service available in Sweden so I can cancel my Tidal subscription, or Qobuz becoming available.
-
Same for me, even having tidal set to Hifi Roon will push the MQA version as default.

I have a Mojo and it is a pain in the behind to get USB to sound as good as the optical input. For example, if you connect an iPhone to the USB input there is audible noise in the headphones, especially if the iPhone is using the 3G/LTE radio. This noise has nothing to do with jitter.
-
How about testing the Mojo using the optical input running on battery? The mojo is very sensitive to noise on the USB input, as many other USB DACs....

Well it is quite obvious that many MQA reissues are never listened to at all as quite a few of the first batch of MQA files on Tidal contained serious digital clipping. These files were quickly removed when this was reported, but I managed to check one such reissue with clipping before it was removed from Tidal (see Roon-forum for details don't remember which albums this was). So this is pure BS as pretty much every claim by MQA has been proven to be, simple as that. Thanks to Mansr and other great guys on this forum.

Thanks Archimago! That is interesting, I picked the Hi-res in 3 out of 3. I was expecting the poor upsampling to kill the hi-res version.... Lucky the test was blind I guess. But when I have tested high-res 96/24 and downsamples 48/16 against MQA core-decoded, MQA has lost always. So maybe the high-res was "killed" but only to the extent of compensating for the lower quality of the MQA core-decoded version. Any plans for a follow-up test? Edit: Just a clarification, I found the difference much smaller in the blind test than I have previously experienced in my own tests.

Sounds like a very strange comparison. The MQA file is supposed to be optimized for upsampling with the simple interpolation filter while the DXD version if properly made will suffer a lot from that abuse. If MQA keeps any of its promises the MQA version should win hands-down.... waiting for the results.
