    MQA-CD plays back on all CD players. When a conventional CD player is connected to an MQA-enabled device, the CD will reveal the original master quality.

    MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an award-winning British technology that reveals every detail of the original master recording.

    Regular CD Player
    As a result of the MQA encoding process, MQA-CDs benefit from increased timing precision and de- blurring when played on any device. (This playback mode is called “Legacy” and is one of the key features of MQA, where all listeners will hear audio – irrespective of the playback decoder functionality).

    MQA-Enabled CD Player
    These CD players can recognise an MQA-CD. The built-in MQA decoder will automatically restore the high-resolution signal heard in the studio and confirm it, using the authentication signatures.
    MQA-enabled CD players include Oppo UDP-205, Esoteric Grandioso K1x, Triode TRV-CD65E and Meridian 808v6 with more being released to market each quarter.

    MQA-CD ripping
    Consumers may want to rip MQA-CDs for playback on a range of devices. As described in section 7.2.3, we recommend using the MQA Tag Restorer application to restore the metadata tags required by some MQA-enabled devices.
    The application can be downloaded free here - www.mqa.co.uk/tag435sdf43te

about

UNWRITTEN STORY - My Bavarian friend, singer-songwriter Thomas Hien was on one of his frequent visits to Los Angeles and suggested we get together and attempt this co-write. Based on a progression and chorus idea that Thomas brought, we fleshed out verses and bridge, then recorded a demo. Although not done to a click track, the ebb and flow of the demo was nice enough to serve as a template for the final track. Later, quarantine necessitated that I play all the parts on this one as I invented the arrangement, as I often do, via trial and error. Will Scott was brought in to nail the drum performance. This track was done exclusively at my Mountain Sounds Recorders. Special thanks to Sammi for the gift of the upright piano.

lyrics

UNWRITTEN STORY
Some wait for whatever is coming
Some dream of what may never be
You can see them running all over,
They’ll run fast but they’ll never be free

I just want to live in the moment
Time is not worrying me
Make every moment a home and let everything be
Let everything be
Let everything else be

We all have to do what we have to
Working our days, one by one
Hoping we can throw off our burden
On a day that may never come

I just want to live in the moment
Time is not worrying me
Make every moment a home and let everything be
Let everything be
Let everything else be

It’s like a book that you’re reading
With nothing left in the fold
An unwritten story
That as you’re living get’s told
The moment is waiting so take all the time you need

I just want to live in the moment
Time is not worrying me
Make every moment a home and let everything be
Let everything be
Let everything else be
