Well I just enjoy music and my experience is MQA even undecoded sounds better to me than CD. On a par with 96/24 material. More real if you like. Listen to tambourines on The Monkies Last Train to Clarksville.
I had a long MQA session on MQA tracks via Meridian Explorer and going back to CD it sounded harsher.
I have Meridian MS200 and Explorer2 into G61R processor and then Trifield to Meridian M60 and `M33 active speakers.
My G61R already upsamples and apodises to remove pre ringing and so I am familiar with a smooth cultured sound.
I listen to a lot of live music as I volunteer at a live music venue where we pride ourselves on high quality sound via our Mackie digital system. So I feel I know what real music sounds like.
An example of our work Don Gallardo this sounds great too, it’s properly mixed.
