In Reply to: RE: MQA hype, will this kill the industry? An observation from a consumer posted by bullethead on October 29, 2016 at 06:05:47
ooops!!!!
Will MQA support comes to AURALiC device?
MQA is still in pending status for AURALiC due to technical conflict with Lightning streaming platform.
AURALiC has done a live demo during CES 2016 for MQA on ARIES and ARIES MINI. It is however after MQA realized that ARIES does not have any DAC built-in and ARIES MINI has a digital output in parallel connection of its DAC I2S signal, they pulled it back immediately. They believe the MQA process is end to end and the DAC has to be optimized for MQA playback, so any digital output of fully decoded signal is unacceptable.
MQA may recently updated their specification which allows limited content to be delivered from digital output (Bluesound implement) but some signal process is still not allowed through MQA signal chain such as:
Customize and upgradeable DAC filter
DSD upsampling
Room correction
Cross fader
Mix down of various of input signal

Also, although it may not be of concern to you, multichannel.
although not a concern to me personally, it is to others. there is far more multi channel program material than is widely known, and more being produced, especially with the recent remixes of much of the progressive rock canon, plus tons of BluRay.
It seems ok in my book, damnit I need to buy more stuff.Optimally we as consumers would be able to just stream DXD and call it a day. Time to scream at the Telcos.
