A service like this from  Sony has the ability to take the wind right out of MQA's sails !

 The Japanese are more known for their like of high res formats such as BluSpec , SHM etc. and NOT formats which degrade Audio.

 

As Chris said above, MQA CD’s were pretty much made for the Japanese market. How popular? Who knows.

 

And we don’t know if Mora Qualitas (MQ) will use MQA.

 

No mention of MQA so far but that doesn’t mean it can be ruled out.

Japanese Audiophiles are a pretty discerning lot, and will hopefully soon see right through MQA.

“But we see the awareness of high-res audio growing here in the U.S. and Europe as well. Those markets are starting to follow. We’re prepared to go worldwide.”

Right out of the high resolution playbook but as I've told Marc Finer (DEG)  and many at the labels. You will find high resolution audio a very hard sell.

No, but A&K says an 8 core CPU for what that's worth. It runs Android.

 

 

I've got a sharp chisel and hammer I'd be glad to loan you. That'll crack'er right open, no problem at all Chris.  )

I have far better things to do with my time, such as further refining the capabilities of my system using well established and proven techniques .

Ah Ha, you're finally going to start measuring for the things you think you hear.

I'm proud of your progress.

 I didn't say I was going to do some of the typically demanded measurements that have very little, if anything to do with how many components will sound.

 The C.A. Borg Collective is still unable to measure why some USB cables sound better than others, despite there being NO Data errors.

I look forward to you coming up with a measurement that shows why one USB cable sounds different than another one. If they really sound different, there must be a real difference between them. Real differences are measurable.

Yea, but radical subjectivist sandyk, is he (and thus his "reports") measurable...only in a qualitative way - from same "reports".

 

None of this is on topic however.

Yeah, it sucks that the Non-Flat-Earth Borg Collective just keep coming up with these pictures and measurements about the Earth being spherical but that really has very little to do with how it really is.

 

Experience and "atypical measurements" clearly tell us that the Earth really is flat.

 As usual, the lazy keyboard warrior E.E. insists that non qualified people should take or obtain measurement that only qualified people with suitable test equipment should be obtaining, assuming that at his age he still remember how to do so !

 lazy keyboard warrior  is an apt term - but applies mostly to you and your ilk

 BTW, I realise that Archimago isn't a lazy keyboard warrior, but perhaps his time in this forum would be better spent posting REAL measurements that support the title of this thread ?

Where in this thread ?

Incidentally, I don't know how this happened , but I just got the attached warning and had to bypass Norton's recommendation.

It is an article published on THIS FORUM that he wrote for THIS FORUM at Chris's request.

Seriously? It was posted on CA but not on THIS THREAD so it’s not relevant? Kumakuma posted the link to it for you but that doesn’t count?  What if I cut and pasted it into a post so it was in THIS THREAD? Would that do it?

[Ralf11]

crazy

 

anyway, let' get back to bashing MQA

Yes. I got a warning about it  being unsafe from Norton Security, which I posted a screen shot of, and decided not to go there again after the same thing happened a couple of times.

 

 Obviously, you don't bother to read my replies or you would know that I did click on your link.

 Which proves nothing. Do YOU use Norton Security?

 Are you doubting that the screenshot that I posted was genuine  ?

[Ralf11]

many, many people have seen that screenshot

Your timeline is out of sync. You posted that warning BEFORE I posted the link.

I wasn't trying to prove anything, just a data point. Why so aggressive?
