I have played my MQA 44.1k masters through the Qobuz iOS player at 24/44.1k (routed via WiFi to Pro iDSD DAC/preamp) and they are properly recognized as MQA 24/44.1k on the iFi Audio Pro iDSD USB/WiFi MQA DAC. In addition, there are a number of streaming services apart from TIDAL that deliver bit perfect, lossless streams of their source audio files. If the source bitstream is not a folded MQA encoding, it will be reported by these same devices as either 24/44.1 or 24/48 - both of which according to Wikipedia above also qualify as hi-res. I report it as it is presented by the industry authorities and experts of digital audio.
This is, according to any definition in the so-called audio industry I am aware of, known as DXD. When what I refer to in this post as my DXD and other masters are played as TIDAL Masters (MQA) through a Mytek Brooklyn USB MQA/DSD DAC or an iFi Audio Pro iDSD USB/Wifi MQA/DSD DAC the bitstream is reported by the DAC (Mytek and iFi Audio) to be 24-bit 352.8k (or 24/384k) MQA. The above Wikipedia definition of hi-res includes 24/44.1k, which may also be referenced as HD. However, there also exist 44.1 kHz/24-bit, 48 kHz/24-bit and 88.2 kHz/24-bit recordings that are labeled HD Audio. It commonly refers to 96 or 192 kHz sample rates. ( Source: ) “ High-resolution audio ( High-definition audio or HD audio) is a technical and marketing term for audio with greater than 44.1 kHz sample rate or higher than 16-bit audio bit depth.
Are you streaming audio? Do you listen to hi-res?
