I enjoyed watching the GoldenSound video and thought his approach to testing MQA was clever, even though it lost him his ability to publish music on TIDAL. Besides the fact that the format failed to live up to MQA Ltd.'s claims in GoldSound's testing, what annoys me most is that the issues are not more audible to me. I have typical high-frequency hearing loss for someone my age but good analytical listening skills. I want to hear all of the noise and crap that showed up during his testing, but I've been unable to so far.
Of course, there are plenty of MQA recordings on TIDAL that are crap, but that's mainly because the masters, recordings, or performances are crap…not because MQA processing made them so. I'm not a fan of MQA, but I wish I was able to easily hear its deleterious effects so that I could just kick it to the curb and move on. As it is, the ~150 MQA albums in my Roon library all sound fine to me despite my best efforts to find fault.
Even though MQA is "bad for the environment", it's not worth the bother for me to switch to a more environmentally friendly solution like Qobuz.
