MQA Tidal to launch MQA Hi-Res audio streaming in 2016

1- Right now it’s just exclusive mode/wasapi yes and whenever there’s MQA content it will pass this off to external decoding on hardware. But a decoder can of course also live in software. Unfolding and rendering can of course happen in application as well. Right now it doesn’t.[/quote]

Do you have any info on whether MQA has decided to allow software decoding?

2- To give users control. Some people would like to have this limited on some devices for some reason and we’re all for that control. It also gives us a lot of flexibility to how we roll things out in the future. As vague and as simple as that :smile:[/quote]

But then you must host both the 16/44.1 FLAC and the MQA FLAC…

Ok, thx. Not a problem. I think it’s ok to charge more for better resolution frankly…
