MQA?
AnsweredHi - I saw on your website that the Bluesound Powernode is MQA compatible. How do I access music that is MQA? I generally use Spotify - is that MQA compatible or will it become so? Also, for the average ear in the average home environment is there any real difference in quality?

MQA is available to stream via Tidal, you can purchase MQA encoded tracks or listen to one of the MQA streams from Radio Paradise.
You will need to ask Spotify of their plans, at the moment they don’t even stream at CD quality.
Personally I quite enjoy MQA material.

Thank you. That's an excellent point! I hadn't realised that Radio Paradise is MQA quality, I'll give that a go and listen to the difference as that's an easy and free way of trying it.

I have now listened to quite a few MQA quality tracks on Radio Paradise and was quite surprised with the difference in listening quality. I didn't expect to hear a difference or that it would be very minimal and barely noticeable. However, I was wrong. There is quite a substantial improvement in definition.
Thanks for pointing out RP to me as up till now I have largely ignored it and saw it as a bit superfluous; but not anymore. Good to know too, that Bluesound are at the cutting edge of high quality audio and that their kit is able to deliver it brilliantly.
