I agree Mnyb. MQA will remain a niche market for the very few who might care and are willing to buy the hardware and/or install the software to even be able to utilize it. Plus the added data usage cost that fewer still will be willing to pay for. Most streaming is to small portable devices using either ear buds or BlueTooth speakers and neither will really benefit from audiophile formats (real or perceived). The much smaller segment of the market that stream to a full stereo system with even decent quality gear where an MQA scheme *might* be a benefit is an extremely small slice of the audio market.
I think MQA will just be added to the long list of failed formats in a market with still too many formats and formats that are just fine for 95% of the market. A better mouse trap doesnt always succeed if the existing and simpler mouse traps are catching plenty of mice with no additional cost or complications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104878
