True. I just skip-read some of the 'MQA is vapourware' thread at CA - is that the one you were referred no to? Loads of stuff I didn't know. Still more things I don't understand. It's honestly hard to imagine this is a completely 'honest, aimed at the end user for their benefit' technology.
Still, if I get the Explorer I can find out for myself. Except now I'm conflicted about adding an MQA hardware sale to the stats....
I saw some pointers on that ca topic about PS audio saying DAC makers that use FOGAs or whatever, software/firmware Da algorithms and that kind of thing (ala Devialet I guess), MQA could be a burden to incremental firmware development/improvement and also tricky with their own IP. I guess this would apply to Devialet - well, at least in the days when they did incremental firmware updates with any improvements.
