MQA’s authentication watermarking must be present in the file, and properly validated at playback, otherwise MQA decoders will refuse to unfold the audio to... Source: over 1 year ago

• What audio format do you put on your iPods?

  FLAC continues to be actively maintained and updated. Which, actually thanks for asking your question because in checking sources I noticed FLAC was just updated not two weeks ago.

Anyways, FLAC continues to be meaningfully updated (homepage @ xiph and the... Source: over 1 year ago
