MQA and Bob Stuart, yes.
John Stuart? No.

This thread is NOT just about someone personally enjoying listening to MQA. This discussion has risen above this to touch on the broader issues that MQA brings to the entire music industry and home reproduction.
Those who do not like the discussion here are welcome to just move along, instead of trying to impose their will on what a thread should or should not be.
Seriously? What is wrong with some people?
BTW, I have actually listened to and compared MQA to non-MQA files, and MQA is inferior to redbook, native hires pcm and dsd in a high resolution audio set-up. And I am not talking about streaming where I have stated before elsewhere that MQA Tidal is generally better than non-MQA Tidal. |
There is no point engaging with someone who is actually initiating the bickering.
This discussion has been pretty civil until THE bickerer pops in.
So, kindly move along now. You know who you are. |
Ptss,
Thanks for the heads up about John in J. Robert Stuart.
We all know who Bob Stuart is wrt MQA but good to know he is also John S. The audio world will continue to call him Bob as does himself.
Cheers! :)

I think cj1965 and the other naysayers are the ones who are gullible and vulnerable to bad mouth anything that they cannot hear. But I can hear the difference as stated previously. Are you bad mouthing those who can hear the difference even as you cannot? |
In the end, we will be led to where ever the music is, because we love our music. :)

The latest issue of TAS has a very favorable review of the Rossini, even more so with MQA material.
After reading the section on how dCS implements MQA for its OWN hardware, my interest in MQA is now reignited but only with regard to SQ of MQA vs non-MQA files played via the same dac. dCS seems to be the first company to implement MQA in this way.
The MQA-capable Rossini may just be the ticket to end all MQA debates based on SQ alone. I posted the above in another thread. Is dCS getting it wrong about MQA? |
I already own all the music I will ever buy. So, for me, MQA in meaningless. I own 4,500 LP, 2,500 CDs. I don't stream, I have all the music I will want. I have read the pros and cons of MQA. and I know the market will decide. Not some guy who dreams of making money, not some recording studio execs who dream of getting the cat back into the bag.. The Market. If enough folks buy processors with MQA, and buy enough music with it, MQA will win. If not ... MQA will lose. And not one argument or fact check or discussion makes a single bit of difference. Just your DOLLARS. Did you buy? or not buy?
I voted, I bought a $7000 SACD/DAC without MQA this Summer.Enough said on my part. I am doing likewise - listening to my own music collection with a non-MQA dac, no streaming. The only reason for me to think about MQA is for the next dac I buy - should it be MQA-capable or not? Will cross the bridge when I get there, I guess. :) |
