MQA Versus HQplayer upsampling to DSD512

MQA requires buying a new DAC or maybe new software for some fancy DAC and either streaming or buying new titles to get this "better sound". HQPlayer is a $150 player software (does require very powerful computer to run at DSD512) that, according to many, makes every file you have sound better....whether it is 16/44 or 24/192 or DSD 64 or 128....if you upsample to DSD512 using HQplayer it sounds way better. If this is so, then why would you be interested in a "new format" that will only have certain titles when you can improve everything in existence with HQplayer?

I don't believe there is currently a DAC that has MQA and can play DSD512. But the new Mytek Brooklyn does MQA and DSD256. You should load HQplayer on your computer and play into the Mytek with standard 16/44, MQA version and HQPlayer upsampled to DSD256 version. This would be interesting. I would not bet on the MQA to win.
