If you have seen my other reviews on MQA CDs you will know that I am a complete believer ...however as with all audio the 'source' is even more important than the encoding format and with this version of Machine Head the source is an old circa 2000s mastering which was done for the SACD release (which I still have)...So yes the MQA version sounds better than the equivalent SACD version(more open and natural sounding) unfortunately both fall far behind the 40th anv mastering done in 2012 available in 96/24 pcm ..so if you really want to hear this album at its best hunt around for the 40th anv version (mine came in a boxed set) this is the second MQA album(not Japanese issued) I have that uses an inferior master, so even though I really do love what MQA does for digital audio I cannot stress the point enough that only the latest mastering should be used for MQA releases...otherwise whats the point?!
