MQA Declares Bankruptcy

https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/high-res-music-tech-company-mqa-enters-administration-in-the-uk/#:~:text=High%2Dresolution%20music%20technology%20company,the%20US%20and%20other%20countries.

 

The financials are eye-opening. Annual revenue never exceeded £700,000 while administrative expenses exceeded £4,000,000 for 2020 and 2021!

Does anyone think Bob Stuart took this much money out of the company?

Wow. So MQA has become another Dolby FM technology. But then, many in the industry thought MQA was a scam.

I purchased a digital cable and connected my BlueSound Node2i to my ARCAM.  They told me the DAC inside my ARCAM was better than the BlueSound and not to worry about MQA.  I think MQA sounded better.  Maybe I will try QIbuz.  I demoed QUobuz and I thought it sounded better.  However the Tidal library is larger and I like the graphics.

Needless to say the digital Audio world has always had its ebbs and flows, and will continue to do so.
