Meridian MQA

[Hifi_swlon]

How do we lobby with Devialet to license MQA and add it to their internal DAC so we can at least begin to play with this?

Unless users here want to get into a more formal way of 'petitioning' Devialet for features etc, your only options really are:

• express your interest here (Devialet may or may not read it)
  
• email Devialet directly (to any contact details you can find)
  
• stick something on their Facebook page?
  
• voice the opinion to Devialet dealers (especially if you purchased via a dealer), and ask that they pass it on.
  

Follow-up on all of the above.

Beyond that I'm not really sure what else you can do.

My hunch is their Facebook page will have far more effect since its public facing.  In fact, I'm surprised more people don't voice their opinions there…..

For what its worth, MQA's low down on my list - not least since there's very little out there in the format (and until Tidal start streaming it) - but thats not to say it wouldn't be a nice feature to have.  Plus its one of those features that since you can't really attempt to hear the alleged benefit of full MQA-ness unless your DAC decodes it, its hard to say whether its a worthwhile feature or not until you've got it.

There's something thats very much in your favour here though - MQA is already a TLA, and in Devialet terms, thats practically a done deal surely!
