Hey Community folks, here’s a place for you to discuss recent MQA news and developments.
Before we get underway, there are a few guidelines and things I want to share. Some of you have cried foul for censorship with Moderators because we consolidated previous posts about this topic into a closed thread. To be clear, I want to take ownership of that. I poorly articulated guidelines to the moderators regarding MQA discussion. I personally apologize for those actions.
We don’t want to censor open discussion of these developments.
We do want you to be respectful toward each other while doing so.
In the past, MQA conversations have quickly devolved into uncivil/toxic behavior, and members have attacked each other for their stand on the MQA format. That behavior quickly erodes the type of environment we’re trying to foster on our forum. Grudges are formed, and ill feelings carry over into other threads, PMs, etc. We don’t want a replay of that. If you have questions about what’s allowed, please review our Community Guidelines before posting in this thread.
We respect your desire to discuss this topic. You’ve seen the MQA developments and have heard interesting news from TIDAL.
We understand that you have opinions and want to share them. Your positive or negative opinions on MQA are allowed - so long as they are in keeping with forum rules.
Roon doesn’t have any behind-the-scenes information on MQA’s current status, nor do we have an official Roon position to share. Please note that we don’t want MQA debate to pour over into every corner of the Community. Off-topic MQA posts in other threads contravene the shared guidelines and will be moderated accordingly.
So, let’s relegate our discussion of MQA developments to this thread and express opinions/thoughts as just that - opinions and thoughts, not facts. Some possible talking points could be:
-
Your feelings on MQA from personal experience.
-
Your feelings on proprietary formats moving forward.
-
Your feelings on having purchased equipment that supports proprietary formats.
-
Your thoughts about how MQA support might look moving forward.
Most importantly, let’s be respectful of each other and not make personal attacks. That also applies to the people who created MQA. It’s always risky to claim to know other people’s intentions and motivations. Let’s not go there.
Posts that do/will/can not abide by these requirements will be moderated. Thank you for your attention and understanding.
