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

RE: MQA can be implimented via firmware but ...

MQA could be implemented in firmware IF there's enough processing power. It's not as simple as unzipping a file. It also is not generic. The temporal correction applied is said to be unique to each DAC.

Having said that, the samples I've heard of MQA files on a Mytek Brooklyn were completely unconvincing. I have not heard any benefit whatsoever. The claims of better.... whatever it's supposed to be..... have yet to be heard in this house. To be most fair I used a pair of AKG K712.

As I've said elsewhere, I won't hunt for benefits with tweezers and a magnifying glass. If MQA isn't easy to tell, it's DOA. After listening however I think I like DSD a little better than PCM. Not sure I want to pay for the gigantic files though.
