Dr Tone Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Obviously Lee has ran out of names to drop and can only support one forum now. His latest posts are trying to straighten out everyone on the downsampling upsampling "myth". To his knowledge the second unfold is recovering content > 96kHz and there is no downsampling on MQA creation.

Rest assured that Scoggins was burying Hoffman in PMs regarding that quasi-sponsored MQA thread. I'm sure he got Hoffman to give you the boot by suggesting you were making Hoffman's forum look unfriendly to vendors. The reason Hoffman seems to be agnostic about MQA is there's no free gear in it for him. Quote My marketing manager Bill has these two shipping to me next week for long-term loan. Anyone have them or listened? What do you think? Gus Skinas of www.SuperAudioCenter.com (who's ears I trust) raves about this setup for CD playback (won't play SACDs, ironically). He thinks it is the best he's ever heard.. Link to comment

Hoffman clearly has no Tidal account, in fact, does not have any file playback system what so ever, by his own admission. He listens only to CDs and SACDs for digital. He does not even know where to start to set a network based high resolution streamer. Link to comment

From what I've heard from people present at his mastering sessions with Stephen Marsh, Hoffman only provides verbal feedback for sound (and over at the now defunct stereocentral.tv, he earned the title: EQ Consultant). Others twiddle knobs to his specifications. I've heard Hoffman has something like zero ProTools skills. Link to comment

Hi, Lee Scoggins is factually correct with regards to the lossy part. It is correct that MQA is lossy, and the lossy parts have been discarded. Since they have been discarded, no one will be able to hear them. Regards, Shadders. beetlemania and semente 2 Link to comment

It's a bit starry-eyed, but contrast this to the utility claims MQA is making : It will be interesting to see if MQA enabled portable devices/phones come with a .25¢ DAC or a $25 DAC. Link to comment

Simply divide a MP3 recording to lossless and lossy part, then attenuate the lossy part so you cannot hear it and then what remains is completely lossless!! MP3 quality authenticated.
