In Reply to: MQA hype, will this kill the industry? An observation from a consumer posted by bullethead on October 29, 2016 at 06:05:47:
If it's possible for a non-MQA machine to decode MQA with only a software update, and if the company wants to, it surely will be allowed. Anyway, let's say MQA becomes ubiquitous--every major streaming service adopts it, and all the major download companies offer it. Your Aries will still work fine. MQA files sound very good on a good, non-MQA DAC. (Yes, that's from experience.) And those download services will surely still offer other formats; unless demand declines, there's no reason for them not to.
