Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Actually, it is a formal process by MQA

a web search ("MQA" "certification") sheds some light. Here's an example from an interview with Bob Stuart (article attached):


"Q12. When will the MQA certification process for third party DAC partners be complete, such as the Mytek Brooklyn?

A12. [Bob Stuart] The quick answer is always as soon as possible. Each certification process depends on the company and its model and how much work we have to do together to get the result that suits us both. We have a process in place and many products going through.

Q48. If my understanding is correct, DAC profiling would imply that the DAC model in question has to be sent from the manufacturer to Meridian for certification. Is this really a viable route from an IP standpoint and a practical way of doing it? Seems like a cumbersome and time consuming procedure in my view.

A48. [Bob Stuart]. This is not a Meridian question, MQA is a separate company (see Q76). The hardware and mobile licensing involves verification (which is normal in this industry) and we also work with our partners to optimise the conversion interface. We think it is viable. Perfection takes a bit longer."
