In Reply to: A CHORD DAC Review, or more MQA PR? posted by Isaak J. Garvey on May 22, 2017 at 18:47:03:
The main and biggest flaw is the fact it is 'proprietary'.
The reason Cd succeeded was it had international standards, and everyone agreed to it from day one.
HDCD was a fail (I own a DAC with HDCD, and maybe five HDCD discs. LOL)
SACD was a fail (Sony COULD have just made every single CD in their entire catalog dual CD/SACD. Did they. no. FAIL FAIL FAIL.)
MQA is also a fail.
Until some fool makes something better that is also an international standard most folks agree upon.. all these stopgaps and pigs in a poke are gonna go belly up PERIOD.
Please though, waste your money on them... Maybe someday someone will actually succeed
