Listening at lower volumes

[Al ears]

Get an amplifier with a Loudness control?

It’s going to be very interesting when implemented by manufacturers and I’m excited too😊

Don’t hold your breath…

MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) was supposed to give you an accurate representation of what was heard in the studio, and that failed miserably, so I wouldn't bet on anything matching the above suggestion any time soon.

When you watch full 4K videos, do you change the video settings like saturation, color, hue etc before viewing? No, the TV displays the video content of the information stored in the file in true form.
So, digital Hi-Fi systems too should have a full handshake of the stored information included volume information stored and reproduced in full, just like TV’s are capable of producing the exact video content as recorded and edited and differs only with type of display technology being used like OLED or IPS panels.

It's just not practical with volume. Sometimes people like to listen loud, sometimes at moderate volumes, sometimes quiet.

Also I believe when you measure the volume you're listening at there are still going to be transients hitting above that level. I guess it's going to depend how much compression was used.

MQA was just a compression system which they claimed was lossless but in reality it wasn't and it introduced distortions. And we have everyone's favourite YouTuber GoldenSound to thank for MQA being found out. He uploaded his own music to Tidal and then compared his files with the Tidal MQA files. Anyone wishing to watch that will find the video on GoldenSound's channel.

MQA went downhill when they were discovered not to be lossless.

The word got out, Tidal made the transition to FLAC, and the company that made MQA went bankrupt.

There are far too many formats Wave, FLAC and DSD is more than enough.
MQA has been flushed down the toilet 🪠 🚽 and that's music to my ears.

Where I’m now in India, there’s lot of air pollution like kitchen exhaust, fuel burning, outdoor burning etc. that causes ill health and unconsciousness.

So, I have to do it frequently now.

The English phrase “don’t hold your breath” means, don’t wait for something, it’s not going to happen.

You mean spotify hi fi then ! Ha

There isn’t any reason why the above suggestion, of hardware volume locked to the recording audio’s set volume present in the audio file and listened with just one size floor standing speakers within a defined Hi-Fi bubble area from the speakers, wouldn’t become a reality. It’s going to happen very soon.
