Thank you - that statement is indeed both rational and fact-based.
Unfortunately it doesn't say anything about the possible functioning and
benefits of the MQA technology.

This discussion definitely belongs in the "audiophile" section. I am not
going to address the mostly philosophical issue of "objective forms of
music". What I do believe in is some empirically objective form of
signal reproduction - that is what we are talking about here. Taking a
recording, as it exists in the mastering system, and transferring the
recorded waveform to your DAC.

Heh, yes. No, you don't have to yield to the guidance of experts and
science, but if you don't, it would be nice if you also had the
intellectual honesty not to leach on the results of the work of experts
and scientists. :)
