RE: INTERNET BLIND TEST: MQA Core Decoding vs. Standard Hi-Res Audio

I don't believe that Archimago's assumption that the DAC does not need to be MQA enabled is correct for conducting a proper test. MQA is intended to be an time-doamin optimized format. It takes a holistic view of the reproduction chain, from recording all the way through playback. The DAC is part of that chain. If the DAC is not also time-domain optimized then the overall chain is not time-domian optimized. Listening to MQA without an MQA enabled DAC is not proper test of MQA as a system format.
