COMMENTS
Very strange, its the first time recently reading a review about a DAC or streamer that MQA has not been mentioned in it specially that reviewer has extensivly listened to Tidal! Purposely? Ignoring? Or new to streaming?! My guess is what Art was listening Monk in 24/96 throu Tidal was MQA file decoded by Tidal and not by AVM.
