Qobuz integration with ROON....Ya.....!

[HalSF]

Just did my latest perodic check-in at the News and Events page at the MQA website, along with a general online search for notable developments, coverage, and discussions (including this thread's recent non-urgent, meanderingly off-topic circlings around the fate of this technology). A blanket of amotivational syndrome has descended. 

 

My confidence that MQA is kaput is currently at an all-time high.

Yes, their use of facts has been quite Presidential lately.

That word used to mean something entirely different.

Actually 1.47 million. I appreciate your consistency in not engaging anyone or topic on Computer Audiophile. It seems to be carrying over to your own site.

You're welcome. But to be honest, when you write something like "The interesting question is did Stereophile and its staff break the industry so badly that people like me can't fix it?" -  see https://www.stereophile.com/content/av-tech-media-review-policy#CERm8doVQCJoo33A.99 - it's difficult to see what kind of response is appropriate or even necessary.

Lordy.

 

I do believe Rt66indierock has knocked the upper chutzpah meter peg free of its mooring, and the peg is now traveling at Einsteinian velocity.

Uh, sorry, the Chutzpah Meter was shot into orbit when Bob Stuart introduced the excrement called MQA.

Hi BS - You’re proving a point, but not the one you think, with your continued excrement style comments. 

 

I encourage you to stay honest but tone it down a touch.

Good morning from Europe. The CA MQA-thread reliably provides early-morning-over-coffee-giggles, just as the Donald latest tweets do. Thank you 'merica and also very much Bob and all his 'merican disciples. They seem low on the ground in Europe and England.

MQA is FAKE NEWS! Who are you going to believe?  Me, or your lying ears?

I am just not that impressed with a bunch of shaved monkeys running around writing history about themselves...

Chutzpah or Planning

 

Do I believe I can put a team together a team to create a plan to market high performance audio to millennials? Yes I do and people in the industry have noticed the questions I have been asking at shows. Almost universally they say count us in.

 

You are mistaking confidence and a history of assembling teams to solve problems with audacity and possibly bad manners. The high end audio industry has been declining for a long time. Do you believe the audio press isnn’t part of the problem? To believe that takes having blinders on.

 

Nobody in the press and few in the industry have any workable ideas or they already would have implemented them. Stereophile’s idea of helping the industry is promoting MQA. So I think I’m on pretty solid ground and traveling at reasonable highway speeds with the top down in the Valley of the Sun.

Given that you turn every review into 3-5 pages online, I’d expect way more page views.
