Just to get control of it? From what I have read (and perhaps don't understand), the transfer process to MQA starts with a digital file in some format and the software translates that into MQA and the next step is that you play the file through an MQA capable Dac (of which there appears to be only 1 on the market).
That's pretty unique, isn't it.
Whether it sounds "better" is another question.
For example, I am happy to be able to turn a Wav file into AIFF. It sounds the same to me (and i guess everyone else), but it compacts the Wav file. So, the consumer has control over the size of the stored file.
Now what if you and I could do this at home and improve the quality of the sound at home, understanding that making it worse would kill the whole concept.
Maybe this is like turning lead into gold, whether the first step is under our control or not? Snake oil!
