High Fidelity CD Format

I purchased the whole series of The Police MQA CDs and they all sound absolutely incredible. It’s worth investing in the equipment in order to unfold this format. As a teenager, I discovered origami, and now it’s made it’s way into my life via music. This is without a doubt the best sounding version of this album that I have personally ever heard. There are instruments that you don’t hear on other formats and the space between song titles is dead silent. MQA/UHQCD is by far the best format that has become available for the public to purchase. I own this album as well as the rest of the studio albums on several different formats and none of them are as clear or capture the sound clarity than the MQA/UHQCD format. This is the way I have wanted to hear music for many years now. I have bought a few titles mastered with the XRCD format as well as numerous Platinum SHM CDs, but none can compare to the incredible sound detail that you get from a nice set of headphones and a copy of every title that I own on MQA/UHQCD. I have yet to buy a title that I wasn’t absolutely blown away by the superior sound quality.

I have to agree with the rest of the reviews here. This is in fact the best sounding version of this album that I’ve ever heard. It’s beat out by the MQA version only by a slight edge, and that depends on weather or not I’m using headphones for listening or my High Resolution speakers and subwoofer for room listening. It’s still an incredible album that is past due to get the highly collectible Cardboard sleeve SHM treatment. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time. I also have to wonder about the comment that another review mentions about the obi and the fact it has 2011 DSD in English. Still this is an incredible CD and it sounds like it is a DSD remastered version of this iconic album.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite albums of all time. I have this on several different formats and up until the MQA version was released, the Cardboard sleeve format from 2017 was the best sounding copy I have in my collection. The 2017 Cardboard release of this album has some mention of 2011 DSD, so I don’t know if it was taken from the SACD that was issued in that same year. I have several different copies of this album on various other formats including one that’s now insanely expensive. I bought the MQA version and I have to say that it is the absolutely best sounding version of this album that I’ve ever heard. I have this on Japanese vinyl, Dolby DTS 5.1 DVD, and a autographed copy of this title. I also own the 2011 Japanese SACD copy as well. The MQA version is without a doubt the best sounding version of this album. This release is a Warner Records Release and it is still better than any other format that I have this album on. It’s just a little bit better than the cardboard sleeve version released in 2017. That release ranks a close 2nd place. You get the clarity that MQA offers and the soundstage is more expansive with the MQA version. When I originally purchased my MQA CD collection from CDJapan, I did even have the ability to unfold the true sound quality of this exciting and amazing sounding format. I recently purchased the proper equipment to play these disc back as they are intended to be heard. I’m extremely glad that I bought the majority of the titles that I wanted as now most have sold out. MQA is an absolute pleasure to listen to.
