Now that CES2016 has come and gone and the audiophile magazines seem to have posted a few blog posts, I thought it was time to download the 2L MQA demo tracks and have a peek under the hood as well as spill a few keystrokes on this whole MQA encoding scheme. Listening to the undecoded MQA files was an interesting experience as well...
http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2016/01/measurements-mqa-observations-and-big.html Will be fascinating where this whole MQA thing goes. I'm guessing at best a niche product with TIDAL partnership. Unless I'm mistaken, too many issues and asking too much for consumers to buy special MQA decoding DACs after all the excellent choices we have out there! I feel the idea of a closed ecosystem at this stage is a very bad thing with little upside.
