Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Masters could sound worse than HiFi if you don't have MQA decoding

Even though the bit depth of the Masters files is 24 bits, you're not getting much more resolution than the 16-bit HiFi files because the lower bits are used to store the folded ultrasonic content in pseudo-noise.

I'm not a fan of MQA either, so I switched to Qobuz. Qobuz is better for classical (IMHO) and streams full hi-res files unadulterated by MQA's folding.
