Flawed testimg and reasoning is what makes Paul a fun read.


Correct test:

- take a PS3 FAT model with old firmware and rip the SACD to a DSD file

- take the MQA file

play both via an MQA + DSD enabled dac, e.g. any recent mytek.

That test would be more fair. But getting the PS3 to do that is hard work for the non-technical. I once did it to have a backup of my legally owned SACD's.

Easier would be an oppo which can play both SACD and MQA, but I'm not sure the DSD stays native DSD inside the oppo. Most multiplayers convert it to PCM. Older oppo's even did SACD -> PCM on their HDMI outputs, I had an older oppo dvd player with great PQ who had that feature.

You probably triggered this from facebook by using the words "hack," "data," and "scam," following those words with a link haha!

There are a lot easier ways to rip SACD’s now.

I found the link but maybe because I have a PhD, is what makes it possible.

To anyone expecting Scoggins to actually engage in a back and forth regarding his allegations of bias in Chris' RMAF MQA slides, you might be left wanting.

 

Based on years of experience watching Scoggins posting in audio forums, I believe he will just level the accusation of bias and then go quiet until another opportunity to advocate for MQA presents itself in the forum (which pretty much summarizes his posting history here save for a few posts where he advocates shills for Shunyata, Audioquest, and Black Cat Cable).

 

I've never seen Scoggins engage in an actual debate.  In my humble opinion, he's using this forum to show the "captains of audio industry" that he is a reliable stooge.  And for those who believe the word "stooge" is inflammatory or otherwise "uncivil", I urge you to consult a dictionary.  I think you'll find it is apropos to the discussion.  And after that, if you're still uncomfortable with that word, perhaps "lickspittle" might be a bit more palatable. 😃

 

 

 

It is classic influencer marketing behavior.
