MQA is Vaporware

[Luistergek]

@GoldenOne at first many thangs for your article “I published music on Tidal to test MQA”

I heard from a HiFi dealer that the MQA story is even worse. According to him one of his “Manufacturers” claimed that they are forced to have the MQA decoder chip in the digital path when playing non MQA encoded music. 
Of course, this doesn’t have to be a problem, but he also told me the MQA decoder chip isn’t lossless when “processing” non MQA encoded music. And this would make an honest comparison with the same dac impossible. 
This delayed there version of a DAC supporting MQA regarding high demands from customers in Asia.
I don’t know if he was referring to the filtering like you mention talking about the ifi GTO filter or something else.

In My opinion we must be able to check this as a community by capturing the digital I2S stream from the MQA decoder chip to the actual DAC chip. This way we can also recover the decoded MQA stream in the true digital format. 
Please share us your thoughts on this.
