@ Cleeds"More propaganda from a truther"Did you say insults?If people think they can contribute to a thread like this with ignorant insults and not get them thrown back in their face, they're delusional. It's' not a personal attack to acknowledge ...

" More propaganda from a truther. Why do you need instruments when you have 2 ears to hear if it sounds good or not. " - rbstehnoTypical misinformed "audiophile" response to  any objective fact finding. It's one thing for a manufacturer to buddy...

The government (specifically ours) is too busy building up the largest military in human history to care about such trivial matters.

@geoffkait The ancient Benz wagon I've had for many years has a six cd changer in it. I has traveled over some of the roughest roads in New England and has never missed a beat. Perhaps I should drive it out to California and wait for an earthquake... 
MQA and the "Pre Ring - Post Ring" Hoax
In the real world, any pre or post ringing associated with digital pulses  in pulse code and delta sigma  converters is at such a low level and frequency outside the working bandwidth of the circuit as to be of no consequence whatsoever. The compa...

Erik,See my recent response to you in the MQA "Philosophy" thread regarding Mr. Craven's "apodizing" filters.Best Regardscj 
“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
In real music signals played back on real linear, time invariant audio systems, there is no "pre or post" anything. You have passband, stopband, and transitions between them which can be anything from very steep to very shallow. The only "ringing"...

If MQA were to actually be an ADVANCEMENT for the digital media distribution industry, it would have provided meaningful compression  of digital files WITHOUT ANY PERCEPTIBLE LOSS OF CONTENT INTEGRITY/FIDELITY. We all know that 16 bit and much mor...

The above referenced article and "Archimago's" work confirm what the impulse response measurements posted in Stereophile say directly with actual data. Noise is added by this "codec" to raise the noise floor and mask the low level ripple (commonly...

" FWIW, to my ears and in my system, MQA files sounds consistently better than 16bit/44.1kHz files. That’s not to say that Tidal streaming sounds bad on non-MQA files. I enjoy both formats and by personal preference rooting for hi-res streaming... 
“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart
A chief inherent feature of MQA is security and authentication. Very little of this side of the "product" is talked about or acknowledged by the "inventor". The files cannot be copied for example to serve as a backup should the original get corrup... 
why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable
@ elizabethNo, Elizabeth, THANK YOU for adding your $.02 of bloviation. We "freaking idiots" certainly couldn't bloviate very well without your consummate leadership and blithering/bloviating expertise. Most forum rules strongly urge participants ...

" What do you suggest we should do to save the industry and consumers from the evils of MQA? Do you think constant bickering on audio forums is going to deter the forward progress of MQA? "My friend, we hear all the time politicians telling us...
