With MQA Coming, Should I Buy The PS Audio Converter?

Posted by Newey (A) on January 6, 2017 at 20:19:28

Thanks to the superb info I received to my question about converting analog phono [or analog any signal - tape, etc], I now know that an ADC's the best way to go.

And, it just so happens that PS Audio's analog to digital converter's on sale for half price right now. And - it's got a super excellent phono preamp. I'd really like to have the PS Audio phono preamp. I used to have a PS GCPH phono pre, and it was extremely wonderful. The phono section in the converter's supposed to be even better. So, no prob there.

What's the problem?
This. MQA. It's coming. So, here's my question:

Should I wait until MQA analog to digital converters are available? Will buying an ADC or even a DAC at this moment in time just mean buying obsolescence? Will I just be spending $1k on something that's already obsolete? Will I miss out on MQA encoding with the present PS Audio converter?

So many questions.
