Remember that money always trumps everything and anything else, even

I must admit, watching these guys work the spin during their interviews
can be quite entertaining. Indeed, halfway decent detective story.
Ultimately the money must flow!

A solution in search for a problem ?
What I think the world does not need yet another proprietary licensed
format or any new music format , music files and steaming are already to
confusing for the avarage joe . I would rather like to reduce the format
count .
Mores law will fix any data rate
MQA is a lowpassed lossywav alike lossy encoder using some supercharged
lowpass filter even better for marketing as the apodizing filter.
There were people preferring mp3 over the original, so did others with
Digital Compact Cassette.
I also see no point in MQA for me as buyable download. Maybe

I don't like the idea. A new format, for what, to combine higher
sampling rates (useless) with lossy encoding (harmful)? Streaming 16/44
from Tidal or Qobuz is quite good enough already.

You are quite right, however this new format/technology
As others have noted about a solution in search of a problem, I think
there's another angle here. I suspect the recording houses in their
heart do not like the availability of the true studio masters going
out the door. And I think they're realizing that the HRA angle isn't
selling.

Paranoid, maybe :-)
Let's see how this plays out. Might as well throw out a theory... Would
be fun if even parts of it turns out to be true!

This all comes down to the magic filter in action. They can remove lots
of data but the superfilter applied makes is better sounding as the real
full bit version.
They prepared the world lately together with the AES with placing a
paper about the audibility of filters. The word will spread. You
