RE: MQA questions

A few facts...

MQA is not Meridian, MQA is a separate company.

MQA is an end-to-end technology. The company claims that they correct for imperfections introduced by the A/D conversion process as well as the D/A conversion process. In order to accomplish this, they have created what I'd call profiles for specific A/D and D/A devices. The idea being, in my words, every A/D converter and DAC imparts its own imperfect sonic fingerprint, which MQA removes. This corrective process is obviously dependent on knowing the specific A/D and D/A device you are dealing with. The MQA proof of concept demos I heard at CES were done with MQA-enabled DACs.

"Authenticated" means a file has gone through the above scenario -- the encode process and decode process -- from end to end.
