The MQA process starts off by making an invalid assumption and then builds up from that falsehood. An analog audio signal (which is simply a type of electrical signal) is converted to a digital audio signal by an ADC (analog to digital converter) and then the resulting digital audio file is send to a DAC (digital to analog converter) where the digital signal is converted back to an analog audio signal. The present day ADC / DACconversion chain already produces an analog audio signal that is exactly the same as the original unconverted analog audio signal. So where is all this improvement happening?
