On subjects other than MQA

>>>>I wonder if you and your writers give similar critical attention to other technical issues in audio, like whether deta-sigma is best, or the technical merits of DSD, or the frequency response of cables--as you're giving to MQA.
To answer this question, I'll say this: we've given LESS space to MQA than many other publications. I've written one article (the one I linked), Brent Butterworth wrote two (about how poor the MQA demo was at High End 2016 and a subsequent follow-up with listening comparisons done at Newport). So in all this time, three articles -- that's it. I can easily point to print magazines that had more than that in one issue. And bloggers who talk about it almost monthly. It's played a very minor role in our editorial content -- and a lot of it has to do with the lack of comparison material to really evaluate it. To me, that was an issue very early on and continues to be.
On other subjects (with me, in particular, about loudspeakers), we've talked about much, much more.
