Chris,

 

Great review as usual! One question for the present and two about the future (you can probably guess what they are):

 

1) Any compatibility issues regarding DF's with Android or Windows Phone?

2) What are AQ's MQA implementation plans (will these DF's be software upgradeable)?

3) Any future plans for higher data rate support like 192 or DSD? - I hear you groaning already :-)

 

BTW, I saw RATM back in the late 90s at the LA Forum and it was hands down the best concert I've ever attended (PJ and Springsteen included), a sea of undulating bodies. Most unusual concert: a double bill of David Bowie followed by Nine Inch Nails. Both great shows and they shared the stage for an awesome medley, but most of the Bowie audience left after he finished and most of the NIN audience didn't arrive until after Bowie finished. Too bad for them, but it allowed me to move to the front of the stage :-)

Steve,

 

Thank you so much for clarifying future plans for DFs. Very helpful to know about future MQA support. I never knew about the Audio Player Pro, so thanks for the tip!

Thanks Chris. Steve Silberman from AQ provided additional responses on these questions, so his answers below if interested.
