My understanding is that it can be, as the additional bits to make your pet bat Eric happy are hidden as noise in the lowermost bits of a 24-bit stream or file. But the decision to actually do that is a commercial/licencing decision... > MQA marketing is a bit deceptive Just a bit, yes. They make it sound like they have come up with a way to break the laws of physics, when all they do is use the extra space of a 24-bit file (as no real recording has any meaningful data in the lowest bits) to encode HF information. A bit like the good old steganography programs that hide a secret message in the background noise of picture files. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
