[QUOTE="dingeth, post: 1027154, member: 21609"] My Dac too does the decode and unfold of MQA files. To me, I can SOMETIMES notice an improvement compared to regular Flac via Tidal, but I'm fairly confident I would never be able to pass a blind test if ever took one. The jump from apple music to Tidal hifi was much more noticeable. Of course, it could just be that my ears aren't experienced enough to notice more profound changes between Flac and MQA, so I'm still on the fence about it. To me, it just comes down to preference. I like a little (2-3db) boost to the lows for some added warmth via EQ, in which case MQA is deactivated by default. Just can't have my bread buttered both ways lol [/QUOTE]
