One of the demos in the MQA room used recordings by Peter McGrath. I spoke to Peter, at length, about his experiences with MQA. So the notion that the CES demos were all rigged, is pure nonsense.
If you also take into account the fact that Morten Lindberg of 2L has approved and converted all of his recordings to MQA, you'll have another real example of someone who is in the best position to A/B the MQA process.

But I think we need to know exactly what the 2 gents said and to distinguish between their facts and their opinions. Your first-para conclusion is not obvious.
Your 2d para -- forgive me if I am wrong -- seems a bit lke "oath-helping".

If Morton Lindberg were to decode his MQA recordings back to a high res format (e.g. DXD) and make available the original master vs. the decoded conversion, then there would be a start, but it still would not be convincing unless I could use my own selection of recordings.

Of course Tony. The CES demos of MQA, MQA, and 2Ls involvement obviously had nothing to do with convincing *you*.
Morten has made the MQA encoded version of some of his recordings available on the 2L site.

Your first para is opaque -- is it meant to be an insinuation?
Re your 2d para, thanks.
Jeremy
The 2L site has encoded MQA files, not decoded MQA files. As such, it is impossible to properly evaluate the MQA system. The two files I checked play back as 44/24 files. The original masters are DXD encoded and these are available for download.
It is not possible to test the MQA process without purchasing a new DAC. Surprise!

Dome DACs will offer MQA as a firmware upgrade.
You do realize that buying things is a choice.

Fooling people into buying things they wouldn't otherwise buy is also a choice. If one does this, one may be a fool, a hoaxer, a scammer, a shill or a fraudster, depending on circumstances.

Proprietary at that.

Ohh, scary.But of course you, Tony, will not be fooled because you know better. So you are just looking out for the less fortunate and the less intelligent here on AA and protecting them from what they want.
And you do this free of charge.
Bravo.
