Avalon [Hi-Res CD (MQA x UHQCD)] [Limited Release] Customer Reviews

This is it folks ..the best source you're gonna get to hear this album!..add to this a true 'hi res'sound system and you're good to go. Please take no notice of the bad press that MQA often receives mostly by people who just dont understand it or dont possess ears or a system that can 'resolve' the difference,Audiophiles should have no problem with the licencing issues ,MQA designers worked hard to bring us groundbreaking technology and its only fair they be compensated for it and the compression aspect is of no concern as with an MQA decoder there is no loss. I am a Musician and I have been listening to 'HiFi' music since my early teens on ever improving sound systems and now operate the Oppo 205(modded) direct into a pair of Adam S3H studio monitors, the resolution is simply 'phenomenal' and it is clear that MQA matched to an good master source outshines the equivent non MQA versions.and is best described as simply far more 'natural' sounding...or as the MQA name states..Master Quality

Full Disclosure: I have never in my life heard this album. I only bought this album because the cover reminded me of the Wishbone Ash album cover. As it turns out completely different style of band. However, I love it. Glad I bought it. Sounds fantastic.

This is the best sounding "Avalon" out there. Was hesitant to buy the new Hi Res cd's from Universal Music but I am glad I did !!! Wonderful Product !!!

I’m in shock. It works. Quality excellent, better than lossless hi-res files. I listened to Oppo 205. Great musical impressions.
