About the silliest thing I have read on AK in a very long while!
That's the nature of jokes; they are silly...

Taking the relentless almost warlike nature of posts on every thread remotely linked to either streaming or audio encoding of not only Tidal V Qobuz, but MQA v the rest of it, I do not think it was intended to be a joke!That's the nature of jokes; they are silly...

As was my very similar post also meant to be taken in jest.. As long as it was just funny, and not a bated hook I can have a good laugh at it too..It was absolutely intended as a joke, it up to you to reconcile your slightly acid response to a lighthearted post. Best look in the mirror friend.
You can’t convince people that chase numbers that it’s all about the sound
Yeah man it’s exhausting, I went through that faze as well , I’m so glad I can just enjoy good music now .The funny thing is they think chasing them is all about they sound. I am glad I gave that up that obsession in the 90’s.
You’d have to capture it, but some DAW software can scan the file and tell you the effective bit depth. Which, if it’s a loudness war CD, might not even be 16.The studio could easily take a uncompressed 16/44 and upconvert it to 24/96 and call it a HiRes, show me how you spot that? from a stream?
I’ve come to take all the talk about MQA, Hi-Res this or that, scientific this or that as a grain of salt . You can’t convince people that chase numbers that it’s all about the sound because there to busy chasing numbers to just stop and listen to the music . So with that said when someone makes a joke about MQA , Tidal , Qobuz or whatever I take it as a funny joke and move on . I find faults in all areas be it MQA , Qobuz or Tidal , but I also find the positives and that’s where I focus my attention and then come to a decision as to if the good outweighs the bad in a certain area I.e. Tidal , MQA vs Qobuz, Hi-Res.

Here we go again, MQA victims crying about their petty injustices on a Qobuz thread. You could start your own thread if so inclined!
Nothing feeling slighted in any way, and really feel everyone should enjoy their music anyway they like.I wasn't talking to you or about any injustices, I was talking to the OP and adding to his post. I can't be an "MQA victim" if I rarely listen to it and I don't feel slighted in any way whatsoever. Just wondering why others like you do...

Just that the op has asked several times to keep this thread about Qobuz and not turn it into a MQA or Tidal v qobuz thread
He's a class act, I'm not quite there yet.Yeah, and he "liked" my post- what's your problem?
I don’t have a problem with whatever anyone likes to listen to , Qobuz Tidal pandora Spotify flac alac lossy hi-res mp3 , who cares enjoy the music . This is a Qobuz thread but it’s ok to mention tidal and Mqa , wouldn’t be thread if there wasn’t a bit of side bar on the opposing team , however turning it into a tidal vs Qobuz and one is better than another won’t be tolerated and I did make that clear , otherwise enjoy the music in this great time we live in to have the choices to select music at the touch of a screen!Yeah, and he "liked" my post- what's your problem?
That's not necessarily true. If it's filtered out in the recording or mastering, then there may be anything there.EASY - CD quality or 16/44 or 24/44 has a Nyquist frequency of 20 KHz where it totally cuts off. 96/24 is 48 KHz, 192 is 96 KHz, etc. if there IS NO OUTPUT up to those frequencies, you can be certain they are up sampled.
