```The S2 does both full and last MQA unfolding, and indicates it on the display with different icons.

```

Spotify uses aac I think

Some drm or some shit too

aac is apple

so ya

actaully that dac isnt bad

Aac is open standard Right?

Huh

looks legit good lol

o waite

i was thinking of alac

it uses vorbis if your on desktop

Oh wait fucking hell

youtube uses aac iirc

^

Gpm uses a mix of 160k-320k MP3, and 160k opus from YouTube videos

```And the 353k Quiet Winter album is a good example to use because there aren’t that many 353k albums out there on Tidal that involve a 3rd “unfold”.

```

@HEKTIK nope it's opus now

huh you can get 3 unfolds on mqa

o

who cares

mqa is trash anyway

Alright so Apple and YouTube use aac
Spotify uses ogg
Deezer is mp3 depending on platform
What Else?

open your wallet

go on hdtracks

and cry

fuck mqa

straight up

>hdtracks
No thx

fuckin 18GBP??

Jesus get tidal

ill just stick with spotify lol

Actually now that I have 50Mbit I can actually stream tidal hifi while gayming and not have 600 ping

wew lads

Tidal only needs cd bandwith lol

i just torrent everything, and then buy shit i actually care about

before I've just been relying on my pirated 30gb music collection while gaming because muh low latency

Soulseek ftw

I've had 8/0.5 for years shush

tfw use spotify because I mostly use it on phone <:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

Actually streaming would fuck my connection

Thanks to Jay Z for still having faith in lossless audio

praise jay z and some Swedes for making a decent audio streaming service

^

Or else we would be still streaming 128kbps 6x ripped mp3's from Napster and limewire

i miss what.cd

https://support.tidal.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000397069-TIDAL-MASTERS

Yeah that's what I mentioned

They stream mqa tracks

Even if you put the quality on tidal master with mqa it somehow software decodes it to the correct rate?

wat

MQA on non MQA dacs just converts to PCM

^

got nothing to do with bitrate

No no not like that

If you put it on tidal master and stream a mqa track without the dac I think it still tries to convert a 24 bit 96 track to 24 bit 96 pcm

My equalizer (nahimic) wouldn't scream that some audio drm is being used if it didn't work lol

Anyways anything above 16 bit 44.1khz is irl useless since most adults can't even hear past 17khz

<:thvnk:332928260004642827>

idk dude

i cant hear the difference

but i can **feel** the difference

everything just feels clearer u kno

Placebo boys

*I'm sure it will still work great.*

gl bro

@HEKTIK We both got chinked with the Nubwos.

This shit is hella obvious LOL

My right is louder to than the left.

thats not the only issue

Yeah. I'm having trouble describing it since I'm not an audio guy but they sound *off*.

I just summed it up as low quality headkrones.

hek said they are out of phase

nice

this makes me less angry at myself since I thought I made the wrong decision by recommending my friend to buy oneodios instead of those gaymen headphones

@twozerotwo lol sucked in

get refund

Fo sho.

where did you buy yours from?

Ali

hmm

might be fun getting a refund there

i copped on ebay

Dayum.

lol guess I'll see.

<:tipsfedora:383326576609329162>

are the oneodios heavy?

the cheap ones

also are their pads shit

Pads are good, not heavy, but clamping force is less than I'm used to. Sound isn't great.

lol Ali require evidence for a dispute?

<:kms:327934280619655179>

Man after trying these gaymer headphones I'm so disappointed they sound like booty buttcheeks.

The mic is surprisingly good.

Like really good.

I turned the gain way up and it still kept the background noise to a minimum.

i wish someone made a decent modimc

Just order a BM with some ducktape
