Guys, pleeeze...

It seems many have ideological objections to a proprietary encoding format. Fair enough, but please don't second guess the technical aspects to justify the objection. That way madness lies. Bob Stuart's paper shows that the end-to-end dispersion of a 192kHz linear phase system is much more than MQA.

Interesting that MP3 is brought up in this thread. I think of them as similar, in broad terms: MP3 analyses the signal and throws away signal in as harmless a way as possible to fit a given data rate, MQA analyses the signal and throws away only unoccupied dynamic range to reduce the bit-rate. Of course, I might be wrong, but I like that analogy.
