" I seem to recall Mr. Stuart saying he didn't think we really needed all 24 bits (below the noise floor) so he used them do encode the extra samples between 48KHz and 96KHz and that why some still call it a 'lossey' codec.
But I could be wrong."
I get the impression from a couple of the reader comments posted on Mr. Darko's page that "lossy" is immediately thought of by some folk as being synonymous with "frequency loss". As has been the history of MQA to date, prejudice coupled with little desire to find out the facts.
