RE: Duped? MQA?

"Duped into thinking that 24/192 sample rate was somehow new.."

When Pono started to generated publicity somewhere in 2012 there was indeed a talk about an exciting new music format. There was also a talk about a streaming service of course in the same quality “as the musician hears it”. (Don’t think they had stage monitors in mind when they claimed this).
Now PCM is not really new (Alec Reeves, 1937).
However, at that time Pono was collaborating with Meridian.
My guesswork is that the initial plans might have been to use Meridian’s MQA, hence the “exiting new format”.
