Perhaps the lesson of the current 'overreach' of MQA with pretensions to inveigle its way into production workflows is the problem.
It seems an ideal format for portable digital systems... until one considers whether the DACs, mini amps and associated headphone quality might even be able to convey the time-domain advantages (while simultaneous losing bit depth).
I'd be much more inclined to see a new standard of Meridian filter applied to traditional DAC technology, without the attendant MQA compression. Perhaps there is still time for that. Who knows? But the current package deal of the MQA digital offering seems hastily confected.

Excellent point, and one I discuss in some detail in the post linked below.
And since what Meridian are keen to promote is just another digital filter scheme, wrapped up in a superfluous distribution format, one can see where the 'disconnect' occurs with the potential audience.
The issue then becomes whether Meridian's custom filter technology is substantially better than the competition. I'm betting that there continues to be some very stiff competition in this space.

Understand that like cloud computing, this is a revenue model.
When you are challenged competing on the open market, attempt to close it with a proprietary scheme that requires everyone to pay. :)
