Not sure about "believers", but I can see why equipment vendors would love yet another format that will obsolete older gear and encourage people to upgrade. The real question is how many major record companies support the system - it will live or die based on availability of content. The only real case for MQA is "hi-res" streaming - and I am not sure there is a business case for that. While record companies no doubt would love another opportunity to sell you yet another copy of the music you already have, for locally stored content MQA doesn't offer any advantage over 96/24 FLAC.
