Music in MQA format is currently available in Japan on the e-onkyo music store, most notably recordings from acclaimed Japanese label UNAMAS and the entire catalogue of ‘Anime’ specialist label Falcom. Indie-oriented digital music service, Ototoy, has plans to offer MQA music later this year, including recordings from the Beagle Kick label. "" And "" http://hiresaudiocentral.com/synthax-japans-rme-premium-recordings-to-release-mqa-music/ Um nice theory, but does not fly: 38.4% listened to physical CDs. 27% played their favorite tracks from ripped digital files. 9.7% listened to music downloads. 8.7% listened to online radio. 6% used free streaming platforms. 3.9% paid to stream their tracks. https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/09/25/riaj-cd-youtube-report/ Link to comment

That's as good as the classic, "Some would say..." Both give you license to say anything you want without repercussions. That is if the audience isn't very astute. I'd cut a check for five figures if anyone could show me a more educated audience, with respect to MQA, than here on CA. It's especially not true of Japan, where the physical disc reigns supreme and they are buying thousand dollar glass CDs. Exactly, and a "journalist" should be held to an even higher standard for either phrase...fyi..see my posted links. Been to Japan? I have, just recently, and the record stores are PACKED. And the lines are long. Came back with some sweet SACDs. Link to comment

Popular Post eclectic Posted February 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm starting to think the dream end game for the record labels is the phasing out of Redbook CDs. Only MQA downloads and everyone signed up to a streaming service at 10 dollars/pounds/euros a month. No more free Spotify and access/piracy controlled by switching on strong DRM in MQA.

Tough. How do you know what JVS meant. this is what he wrote "" "...I would venture a guess that if they put "MQA" on the disc, only in Japan, where I am told that people are far more educated about and interested in MQA..." His "venture a guess, means to me, he has no clue what he means. And I agree, we are not people that lay down and receive spoon feed journalism like some writers of MQA want us to receive.

But sometimes your grammar and usage are problematic. This makes communication more difficult. People often make errors here because of hurrying. Perhaps if you would consider slowing down just a little it could improve the quality of your communication. Perhaps your breakneck pace is undermining your coherence at times?
