Paul what is the plan for MQA support once the Bridge III comes out? ---

@Paul can I get an answer to MQA support moving forward? Or is there someone on your team who can answer this question? Thanks ---

We have yet to decide. I am leaning towards not including it as to do so requires a good deal or hardware rearranging and, as people know, I believe it is on its last legs and on the way out. I know this is not going to be popular and we don’t want to let people down, but then too I hate compromising our values. I wonder how many people really care. ---

Thanks for your reply. I personally want MQA support as I’m a Tidal user and Tidal offers MQA. I’m sure you will get some who say they don’t want it and some who say they do. Again thanks for your reply. ---

@bootzilla could you start a poll for this 🧐 ? ---

Something simple like… With regard to purchasing the Octave music server, how important is MQA as a feature: 1. Very Important 2. Neutral 3. Not important ---

Or better yet… 1. Want it 2. Neutral 3. Don’t want it For those that are absolutely opposed to it ---

For me it comes down to will PSA continue to support/develop MQA or not. Given I don’t know the cost of the upcoming Bridge it is hard to judge based on cost increase. ---

@Elk, can you move this poll to its own thread? I think it has value for @Paul and I am afraid it will not get much exposure under this current thread. ---

I can, but I suggest closing this poll, and starting two polls - one each for Bridge III and Octave. I also find the current poll too complicated. I suggest using your first version for each poll: > [@JeffofArabica](#): > > - Want it > - Neutral > - Don’t want it As it stands, I have no idea how to respond as two separate products are included and there are cost variables of which we have no knowledge. As it is bootzilla’s poll, I will wait to hear from him before moving the current poll if this is his preference. ---

Hi, I do not have a strong view either way. On request, I can close the existing poll, create two new polls in this thread, and then the two new ones can be moved as @Elk sees fit. Please let me know. Thanks. ---

Honestly having a poll doesn’t matter to me one way or another. I believe @wijber was the one who suggested the poll. ---

Wish there were a way for the MQA team to conduct complete unfolding within the TIDAL or Roon software thereby eliminating the need for third parties to be involved. ---
