[QUOTE="jvr, post: 1159988, member: 15634"] Sure, we have subjective experiences and people tend to get carried away with tags like "Master" and such.. But, I still find it hard to believe that we have such opposing experiences. One explanation will be this. Many, many somewhat older CD quality albums were indeed somewhat mediocre. I have learned to be rather selective and to only pick songs from albums with good SQ (often, but not always a more recent remaster) to which I listen to. Anf if I compare these albums to their MQA versions, well then I reach the conclusion already conveyed. But, more concerning was the fact that Tidal's non MQA files also sounded worse than e.g. Deezer. That should not be (and hopefully is no longer the case). Apple & Deezer's CD quality sound the same - as it should. [/QUOTE]
