I don’t have a dog in this fight. I don’t subscribe to streaming and mainly only listen to my collection of CD rips. The only high-end equipment I have is my surround setup, and I mainly use that for listening to my multichannel music either from BluRay or ripped from SACDs; of which I don’t have that many. Most of the time I’m perfectly contempt with 256kbps AAC.
That being said I can definitely see why MQA is an issue. It’s marketed towards audiophiles as a way to stream high-res audio that’s authenticated to be of the highest quality; when in reality it’s not. MQA has no benefit over lossless 44.1khz the majority of the time, and in some cases can actually be worse since the “folding” process is not lossless. There is simply no need for MQA, especially when you can stream a 192khz 24bit FLAC file with only a ~10mb/s connection.
