@Confused,
I answered a question about settings required to enable a user to get best results from Roon and their Devialet with MQA steams. I very carefully avoided commenting about MQA itself. I'm happy to tell someone what settings to use for MQA but I kept my opinions about it to myself.
You're right, MQA is not quite what its marketing material implies, or should I say implied because I haven't seen any marketing material for MQA for quite some time. I haven't seen any for and against arguments of the sort that were frequent some years ago for some time now. It also hasn't become the new standard format for audio recordings that its developers hoped it would. The drop off in marketing material, the drop off in the arguments about whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and the fact that it hasn't become the format of choice its developers hoped it would become all point to the fact that it does not seemed to have fulfilled any of the hopes of its developers and that says everything I think needs to be said.
