Simon Cole, CEO, 7digital says: “MQA is a revolutionary new development in the journey towards serving consumers the purest high resolution digital files. MQA, which will be available in early 2015, delivers the quality of original studio recordings so cleverly and efficiently that it can be conveniently streamed or downloaded. For decades Meridian Audio has been at the forefront of audio innovation. We feel extremely privileged to have been involved so closely with the Meridian team right through the R&D stage, lending our own considerable and longstanding experience in high quality digital music services to the process. I truly believe MQA will become the standard for high quality streaming in the years to come.”

The news of the partnership with Meridian Audio comes on the back of a stream of recent high profile announcements for 7digital including with Panasonic for its Technics range, and Japanese hi-fi giant, Onkyo Corporation.
