Is going to be that we will see many fewer discussions on Audiogon about it! 🤣

Now we can all focus on hating on ASR and professional reviewers.

@philosurfer there are billions of people in the world (and many millions in the US) who technically or financially couldn’t access these speeds - so if MQA can be a vehicle that helps in these situations (even though it would rank very low on a priority list in these circumstances), what’s the problem?

I understand where you’re coming from and I agree that there’s nothing wrong with helping people out with compressed -- i.e. easier to download -- files.

We already have MP3 for that -- and it’s free...

...Unlike MQA, with its misleading name, which is exclusive and costly.

And was, annoyingly IMO, promoted and financed under what seems like false pretences (of lossless, master tape sonic quality) which claims were later on retracted....

 

The best part about MQA bankruptcy is that maybe people who don't like it or don't use it will stop bashing it. Or maybe they will keeping bitching about it for the next 20 years. Probably the latter...

Yep.  People on 56K ADSL modems are absolutely the target market for MQA standalone DACs.
