The best part about MQA bankruptcy..

When these types of services go down, we all lose. Less options for everyone. Whether you like MQA or not, it's bad for hi-fi listeners. 

We have seen an age with ipods, downloaded music, albums, CD, music streaming and much more. Whatever it is, you don't like... just bypass that media/service. 

mqa does not introduce the type of option I would like to see introduced.  Folding and hiding data, so that it gets unfolded back, with a chip you have to buy in a new dac?  So that an audio streamer saves bandwidth money, and still charges double anyways?  Netflix streams 21 times more data than 192khz audio files, for less money than Tidal, who only streams at 44.1 either way.

Chapter 11 or 13 are not good, and some people will lose their livelihood. Not an adapter of MQA but I think there is a market and options are good. 

I feel for the folks that lose their job and lost their investments.  Some here are very narrow minded and self-centered.

Bankruptcy is never good. Maybe PE will bail them out. 

It probably took a lot of work for the person who thought of the idea to get people to listen to the same stream, but with an unfolding chip they bought new gear for, to make gear readouts say 96 and who knows how high up they'll support with it.

I was really angry at TAS for going whole hog on MQA.  I remember Steven Stone saying that everyone now had an obsolete DAC.  Canceled my subscription and never renewed.

  Still…I continue mourning the slow death of SACD, and the stillborn DVD-A.  BluRay also seems headed the way of the Dodo.  MQA may not actually be dead, just reorganizing financially.  I don’t care for MQA but hate to see another format in trouble, even if this one seemed rapacious
