Update on MQA

7digital (AIM:7DIG), the digital music and radio services company, is pleased to congratulate its close partner MQA on the announcement on Friday of its long-term licensing deal with Warner Music Group.

The milestone agreement, which will see WMG's catalogue made available in studio master quality, marks a significant step towards achieving industry-wide adoption of the MQA high resolution music technology.

7digital became the first B2B platform provider to offer MQA earlier this year through Onkyo's hi-res audio store onkyomusic. The Company remains the only B2B provider capable of offering MQA.
