I dunno about all that, it doesn’t sound true. But what is true is that signals that ARE encoded in the CD cannot be played back through virtually all CD players. And I can prove it! For example, much more information will be heard when the CD player is isolated from low frequency vibration. But it doesn’t stop there, no siree, Bob,
You didn't hear it here.
Dr.Aix strikes again.
"Additionally, the guru behind MQA — Robert Stuart — wrote in another AES paper, “... there exist audible signals that cannot be encoded transparently by a standard CD; and second, an audio chain used for such experiments must be capable of high-fidelity reproduction.” His position is untenable if the results of my survey are true. If real world audiophiles cannot hear a difference then there is no audible difference."
