Qobuz vs Tidal : le doute m'habite

[cayu]

Moi je constate que qobuz chez moi est meilleur que TIDAL qui sonne aussi moins naturel et équilibré.gerard hirt concepteur Ayon explique bien pour quelles raisons il refuse d ailleurs d utiliser TIDAL : « WOJCIECH PACUŁA Before we move on to audio, tell us why are you such a tough opponent of MQA encoding?

⸜ GERHARD HIRT To understand this, you have to go back to the times of mp3 - we are talking about the Fraunhofer-Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen IIS, a German institute from Berlin. This is real science in the service of audio. But it is also the birthplace of mp3. I'll come back to that in a moment. A few years ago we started testing the MQA - Ayon Audio together with StreamUnlimited in Vienna. This is a company that employs several dozen engineers-programmers, as well as people who designed the Philips CD drive. 90% of file transports on the market are based on StreamUnlimited modules. They know what they are doing.


We did MQA measurements and tests and thought that something was wrong, that someone was pulling a prank on us. We then found an article by two guys from the Fraunhofer Institute in which they confirmed what we had already figured out: it's fake format. Look - Meridian, the company that "invented" MQA, went bankrupt. Its boss, Bob Stuart, cannot fully explain what MQA is all about. He was just lucky to be able to sell the MQA license to Tidal. For me, it's just a marketing gimmick, empty inside. Qobuz - oh, it makes sense, this is a much better service. »
