I can't see anything wrong in your statment. It's the shortest or best :p description I've seen so far... So let us stop discuss what it is or not. I'm not the right person to discuss this with, as I have no knowlegde except from what can be found online. I have got a nice answer on the IckStream site about the possibilities of having MAQ implemented. I may add it still seems that if you like to have the very last prosent of audio quality implementert in a MQA chain, you most likely need to do something with the DAC. But for sure decoding can be done by SW. As we have seen pure streamer will have MQA firmware updates soon. We also know from Tidal's Pål Bråterud the following "At beginning, we will just transport MQA files (in FLAC wrapper) to external hardware that's supporting MQA decoding. But we will certainly also soft decode in the future also on desktop so you can enjoy MQA quality with any DAC. In mobile applications we will of course soft decode from launch. To begin with it will be a rather limited offering of higher than redbook content, but eventually we will also run all our redbook content through as you then will lose the brickwalling artefacts and also get better and more accurate coding of the PCM itself. For us it is more important that we do this right rather than have a vast catalogue of questionable character. Quality over quantity. As we go along we will fill up the tanks quicker and quicker." Furter reliability information is: http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/meridians-master-quality-authenticated-the-interview/ So you really do not need my explaination ;) Bruken URL is OK. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ R1200CL's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63832 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102648
