"...passive-aggressive behavior can resemble a behavior better described as catty, as it consists of deliberate, active, but carefully veiled hostile acts which are distinctively different in character from the non-assertive style of passive resistance."

All I can see is aggressive behaviour from you and another associate in someone else's forum (here).If you really want to discuss MQA issues openly and without malice, go back to your own website and forum and invite Doug or anyone else to discuss in a polite, measured and fact based manner.
I have to laugh about all this MQA promotion when Onkyo download in the UK is attempting to sell MQA music at £16 each. £16 for the original wav file plus MQA maybe, but I cannot see sensible consumers at this stage paying that much on top of a new DAC. If the MQA consortia were to sell music on the basis of source file plus MQA ones, then there will be no debate as to whether it is worth its salt and the market will then decide.
But this is not how monopolies work!

...to point out inaccuracies related to comments made by you and others related to AudioStream.Unfortunately, they mostly appear to have fallen on biased ears. Points of fact:
A/B comparisons were performed at CES 2016 (and RMAF 2016) where the provenance of some of the source files were verified by their creator.
In my post titled, "Ask AudioStream: MQA", I did not, as you suggested in another thread, "back[t]rack". My stance in that post is the same as I expressed in my MQA review.
Since Isaak's "MQA Pimping" post is gone, I don't have to address the inaccuracies and outright fabrications he included.
I have no interest in further conversation with Doug because he a) cannot accept a fact as fact, and b) I am not interested in playing the role of accused to his role of accuser. In my opinion, Doug is being unprofessional by making unfounded accusations and trying to turn Show Reports into a personal manifesto while disregarding everything else that has been written since. I also find it troubling that a reviwer who finds so much to write about what others have written about MQA, has not managed to *listen for himself*.
I'm not a fan of high-priced downloads, either. As I've written, MQA's appeal is, for me, tied to streaming.
