In Reply to: RE: MQA questions posted by Isaak J. Garvey on January 16, 2016 at 15:58:34
Thanks Isaak. What I am trying to suggest is that every existing cd player would already be MQA ready if the streaming source was already decoded with the MQA standard prior to streaming.
You may remember that MQA decoded files on an MQA ready player were stated to work even on 44.1KHz DACs. If that is true then the MQA files don't require increased bandwidth for encoding or decoding according to MQA standards.
But Meridian is claiming the tremendous advantage to diminish bandwidth as specific to streaming. Of course this is true, however it doesn't matter if these files are encoded or decoded prior to streaming.The bandwidth would both be low.
Bear in mind that I am not arguing the possibilities of MQA, only that it seems totally unnecessary to create any MQA ready devices if we can purchase MQA "authenticated", encoded and decoded CD's, or as available by streaming.

Understood.
The bottom line for me is it is another entity trying to get between you and your music.
File this under "throw it against the wall and see if it sticks". :)
Sure. I don't really care what they do and don't care to compare it.
Give me an MQA treated recordings that can be played back on my player. If they are trying to sell MQA recordings it seems likely they will try to do an excellent job despite MQA.
