RE: MQA questions

As I mentioned, one of the demos at CES used the Bluesound Vault 2 where MQA was added as a firmware upgrade. This option also applies to other existing DACs. So not everyone will have to buy a new DAC.

But I completely get your point. Unless there is a compelling reason, there's no reason to spend money. We are not at the point, yet, where this compelling argument exists. First off, there's no MQA content available and software-based decoders are still in the works and may not work with every DAC, as far as I understand things.

The problem I'm seeing here is due to people like me writing about our experiences with MQA at CES and readers getting excited over the prospect of improved playback. As I've said, the demos I heard were proof of concept and compelling but things certainly need to develop in order for MQA to become something people will consider buying into or not.

We shall see.
