RE: How is Archimago's equipment not "up to the task"...

Abe has a valid point that Archimago's test equipment is not up to the task of measuring hi-res digital audio sources. However, Abe's point is irrelevant to this topic since Archimago is simply analyzing the files in software and not measuring anything.

I think his analysis is fine for what it is, but it doesn't really shed any light on the more controversial claims of MQA. Claims such as "MQA corrects for errors at the A/D and D/A stages" are unverifiable via any real world measurement system that I can think of. Which is quite convenient for Meridian and all the press that have joined the marketing effort, and guarantees that we'll be arguing about this in audio forums for some time.
