"MQA is a separate company". Bollocks.MQA technology was 100% developed by Meridian and Bob Stuart is the face of it. Any hair splitting is you trying to look smart.
It states right on Meridians home page as follows:
"London, 4th December 7.30pm GMT - Bob Stuart, founder of Meridian Audio, launched MQA (Master Quality Authenticated), a revolutionary British technology, which is poised to change the way people enjoy music all over the world. The launch, hosted in The Shard, was attended by key music industry executives, artists and commentators.
Developed by Meridian, MQA is a breakthrough technology to reverse the trend, in which sound quality has been continually sacrificed for convenience. Vital elements of our music have been thrown away to fit thousands of songs into a pocket or millions in a cloud. With MQA there is no sacrifice; it brings us right back to the enthralling sound of live music. MQA captures and preserves nuances and vital information that current music files obscure or discard, but in a file that is small and convenient to download or stream."

What part of word fact is unclear to you? MQA is a separate company.The relevance of this fact is it dispels the silly notion that MQA is just an excuse to sell Meridian product.

Disingenuous nonsense.
On the contrary, facts are about as genuine as it gets.

Just because it is a separate company does not mean it is not connected to Meridian. It could be separate because if it fails it will not take down Meridian. It could be because of tax reasons. It is no coincidence that the first piece of hardware with a built in MQA converter is the Meridian explorer II. MQA was developed by Meridia and promoted by Meridian. Nobody believes that Meridian isn't calling the shots

MQA is not a promotional arm of Meridian. If that were the case, they would not have split off MQA, and they certainly would not have made the MQA technology available to other companies.
But...what does any of this have to do with anything of relevance?

In this thread, your posts are confirming the stereotype of all audio reviewers with the (R) logo as shills for manufacturers. Anyone with the slightest clue can distinguish facts from marketing literature.The most likely reasons why MQA was spun off as a separate company concern the marketing and licensing of a proprietary technology that Meridian is peddling. The last thing in the world that high end audio needs is a new proprietary format. This is the real issue around MQA, but I do not expect industry connected "reviewers" to raise this issue.

Well Tony, I'm not interested in arguing with silly paranoia.

Or facts.
