Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

RE: Mastersound (MQA) on Tidal streaming

Alan, I am not sure that is correct. As I understand it, the full MQA process involves the MQA system " knowing" what the DAC employed for replay is (it also needs to know what the encoding ADC was for mastering). So a decoder sans DAC is not feasible for the system (unless we universally adopt a standard DAC).

There will , of course, be (as there are now) standalone DACS with MQA inbuilt.

Regards

Pete
