RE: Great Story -- But Small Differences Again...

This has been my concern as well. The only group that consistently seems to be utterly knocked out by MQA are a relatively small group of audio writers..maybe a dozen?

I have read about similar group tests like Alans, as many as 10 others written about on regional audiophile society pages and other forums like Audiocircle, and NONE, not one, had the same reactions as the press. Yes, some heard a difference, some preferred it, some did not. But the huge difference in reaction between ordinary listeners and reviewers is just too large to ignore.

Not once did I encounter the word "stunning", or a phrase like a "new era in digital".
