MQA is Vaporware


Recommended Posts

Apple was the first successful company to create true end-to-end encryption/DRM on a consumer hand-held device. This was a pre-condition from the labels (who were dealing with the Napster issue around the same time). This is why the original iPod had only the Apple proprietary connector (no USB).

 

It's an achievement that's going to be very difficult to replicate. Plus the average consumer doesn't know what "master" means :-)

Yes. I think if they charge $40 a month they will get a subscriber base worldwide numbering in the thousands. Maybe not over 10000 in total. My guess is it will sound a little better than Redbook streaming and almost no one will think it is worth the price. Just as relatively few feel Redbook streaming is worth the additional cost over mp3.

 

$40/month is expensive. Apple charges $15/month for a family of 6 people (each person with 3 devices max).
