Music technology company MQA Music says that technology has advanced to the point that, even if you have low-quality devices, your experience doesn't have to be compromised.
The music technology company, which packages master recordings into smaller files that can be easily streamed, promises that its methods keep audio file quality high and the file size low.
This means music fans can now hear what artists intended for their songs. The company doesn't cut anything out of music files, CEO Mike Jbara said.
"We actually fold down and then unfold [the file] when the music fan is playing it back," he said.
Jbara credits his core engineering team for the technology that many other companies aren't able to reproduce.
Currently, the MQA is accessible on platforms such as Tidal, the music streaming service helmed by JAY-Z, and nugs.net, a live streaming channel.

Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison wrested the title of the world’s richest man from longtime holder Elon Musk early Wednesday as stock in his software giant rocketed more than a third in a stunning few minutes of trading. That is according to wealth tracker Bloomberg. A college dropout, the 81-year-old Ellison is now worth $393 billion, Bloomberg says, several billion more than Musk, who had been the world’s richest for four years. The switch in the ranking came after a blockbuster earnings report from Oracle. Forbes still has Musk as the richest, however, valuing his private businesses much higher.
