RE: Has any company updated to MQA via firmware?

In January at CES Auralic was actively demonstrating MQA streaming via their Aries. Within days an iron curtain descended and no more was to be heard - literally and figuratively on the subject. When I questioned Mr. Wang, head of Auralic, on this subject he replied that MQA had required licensees to sign a nondisclosure agreement and nothing more could be said on the subject.

My take: MOST of the benefits of MQA can be attained as you and I state - via firmware in streaming or other devices. IMO MQA is not satisfied in allowing this to happen. They appear to want and are attempting to require total control - from the recording/mastering/transfer, to the playing of MQA encoded music files.

I, for one, at this point am more than ready to write them off.
