MQA is Vaporware

[AMR/iFi audio]

 Folks, this might be interesting for you. This MQA + Pro iDSD setup guide in Tidal is actually valid for all MQA decoding DACs. Enjoy!

I did not play the video, but the still image showing "MQA" and "352kHz" is interesting because MQA does not actually sample that high (topping out at 96kHz), it rather upsamples to it...

 

It actually does, please feel free to check Crossing (Remastered) by David Elias. It's all in the vid 😉

Let’s ask @AMR/iFi audio  

 

Yes, we used measurement charts of the AMR DP-777 and iFi Pro DSD by Stereophile and did not reference or ask for prior permission. This is totally our mistake as we dropped the ball. We have already corresponded with Stereophile and have apologised unreservedly for the mistake. We will be rectifying the references asap! For the record, we wish to apologise fully to John Atkinson and Jim Austin of Stereophile.

The use of “facts” in this quote is quite Presidential.

With all due respect, it's precisely this attitude that stopped me from buying any additional iFi products.  I have several of your DACs and a few other items (iGalvanic3.0, etc.).  But you went to the MQA dark side, and I purchased a Benchmark DAC3 B instead of the iDSD Pro.

 

You being happy with your purchase is the most important thing regardless of whether it's our product or not. Thanks for buying our items! But neither we don't see how MQA pushed us to 'the dark side' (nice phrase btw.), nor we think attitude has anything to do with it. MQA is just another way to listen to music, some people like it, some don't and that's fine. But we as a company have always been all about providing people with options. Since MQA is one and we could include it with no drawbacks to anything else, we did

Where is MQA an option?

 

It always is an option to simply not listen to it if you don't like it. But if you really want to be MQA-immune, we provide firmware with it disabled.

For the iDSD Pro? 🙂

 

Yes. Our first Pro iDSD FW was without MQA and upon request we provide it.

that was IMHO a brain dead decision. 

 

This is not factually correct, sorry. We explained rather clearly why this happened and XMOS math cap reached was the valid reason. And yet again, we provided FW options; for those who wanted MQA and for those after DSD512. So that's that.
