Which has NEVER happened before in the history of high end audio.
NEVER.
EVER.
OK, maybe once or twice. :-)

Whoever can call MQA high end?
I disagree. :-)
It pretty much covers a majority of "high end audio" seen as a collection of products and vendors. I'm not sure when there was a disconnection between "high fidelity" and "high end", but the two salient technological events that precipitated this disconnect was the invention of Dolby compression (destroying any possibility of pure analog recording) and the 44/16 CD standard, slicing music up into bits that could never be pure, and thereby creating the opportunity for scam artists to sell products that would be ultimately mediocre as something "better". So, IMO, it was mostly over by the mid 1980's.

SQ in comparison with true high res material in high end systems.
MQA benefits
Firms that charge for streaming
Meridian for creating a monopolistic enterprise
DAC manufacturers looking for more sales
Audio magazines and reviewers looking for new things to review
Audio motivated inmates for trying out a new toy.
It seeks to limit or destroy progressive audiophile innovators trying to offer better and higher resolution music and systems.
It also damages the pockets of those who want to 'try it out'.
Until things settle, it may be better to buy a new audio PC or box as the next toy.
