Yet more MQA bashing.

Guillaume

Views on MQA are getting very tribal I think.  Over the last month I have read stuff stating that MQA is the best thing ever and a revolution in audio sound quality reproduction.  I have also read that that MQA is nothing more that a way of extracting more cash from music lovers.  I have heard MQA in a demonstration, but never in my own system, so personally I have not made up my mind.  I think the reality is that the MQA bashers do have some good points, but also the mastering side of MQA and the ability to correct analogue to digital conversion errors in the original mastering do offer the potential for genuine improvements in sound quality.  So I think both tribal factions are wrong, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.  I have to say that I am looking forward to Roon implementing software decoding of MQA so I can try for myself.
