\"\"<\/a>Pioneering MQA Audio Technology Used In Mastering Process<\/em><\/p>\n

Tokyo \/ London, 16 March<\/strong> 2017<\/strong>: A recording by Astor Piazzolla \u201cthe single most important figure in the history of tango\u201d will be the first MQA recording to be released on compact disc in Japan. The album \u201cA. Piazzolla\u2028by Strings and Oboe\u201d \u2013 recorded by the UNAMAS Piazzolla Septet and mastered by respected producer and mastering engineer Mick Sawaguchi \u2013 will be released by the Ottava label on 17 March.<\/p>\n

Since launching in the early 1980s, the CD format has undergone a number of sound quality improvements, but these have depended largely on the manufacturing process, rather than an improvement in the quality of music itself. After attending a JAS (Japan Audio Society) seminar on MQA technology presented by MQA founder Bob Stuart in late 2016, Mick Sawaguchi and Synthax Japan\u2019s managing director, Seiji Murai, realised that MQA could enable not only 48-24 coding but also 44.1-16 coding. \u201cWe were both excited by the prospect that CD, combined with MQA technology, could herald a new era of hi-res audio<\/em>,\u201d says Sawaguchi.<\/p>\n

MQA technology captures and reproduces the original sound quality using less data, and the MQA CD works in exactly the same way as the MQA digital file. With a conventional CD player connected to an MQA-enabled device \u2013 such as those from Meridian, Mytek, Brinkmann and Technics \u2013 the MQA CD will \u2018unwrap\u2019 to the original sample rate.<\/p>\n

Sawaguchi compared a test MQA CD with a normal CD of the same recording at SONA Studio, played back on a CD player with a Meridian amplifier and loudspeaker systems. \u201cListening to the MQA CD was a great moment in my life, as it no longer sounded like music from a CD<\/em>,\u201d comments Sawaguchi.<\/p>\n

Bob Stuart, MQA founder and CTO adds, \u201cThis exciting release demonstrates that innovative music creators, like Mick Sawaguchi, are embracing MQA as the best way to master and deliver their recordings. While MQA is ideal for streaming services like TIDAL, where studio quality sound can be streamed in smaller file sizes, we also appreciate the importance of the CD format in the Japanese market<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n

MQA represents a new philosophy of high-resolution sound reproduction and is undergoing worldwide adoption by the music industry. Most recently, MQA technology launched on TIDAL\u2019s streaming service as \u201cTIDAL Master Audio\u201d.<\/p>\n
