What MQA are we listening to [2020-2024]

I had completely forgotten this album and now it’s in MQA Studio…

The artist link is incorrect though…

this may not be the right thread, but I wonder if any of y’all have any insight as to what is going on here:

If the PLAY:3 is not capable of more than 48k, it should mean that that Roon is authenticating the stream (in a side channel), not decoding it, and passing the 48k stream to the PLAY:3.

if Roon is not decoding it, how does the PLAY:3 know what to play?

The backwards-compatible 48k MQA stream?

i guess- it’s just confusing to see “authentication” of 192 as the last step before its passed to the Sonos.

Man, this album sounds so smooth and natural. Amazing recording.

There new album is also very well worth checking out…in mqa as well.

Can the music of an album get lost behind it’s cover? Seems so.

I felt I should have been celebrating the 50th birthday of Ziggy, and yet the opening track of Aladdin Sane came on and made me realise two things.

Firstly, ‘Aladdin Sane’ is an amazing album.

Secondly, the opening track of most Bowie albums are absolute absolute blinders (think about it), and ‘Watch that Man’ is right up there. So much joy in that music.
