If you’re not on the “MQA is the crappiest sound to come out of a stereo in history” bandwagon when posting on this site you can expect to get piled on by a horde of anti-MQA vigilantes. Ralf even found it necessary to take a dig at MQA in a comment on your post about the new McIntosh gear. Mustn’t let any thread go by without at least one mention of how bad MQA is apparently. If you think people are opposed to MQA only because of the sound quality, you haven't been paying attention.

Based on your above comment, I willing to bet it will shock you. Also, I presented facts. Just because the facts aren't on the side of MQA doesn't mean I delivered a biased presentation. I'm still searching for where I was "called out" on anything. Rudely interrupted, yes, but far from called out. Please tell me what I was called out on and what was biased in my slides. I'll wait right here. 9 minutes ago, Lee Scoggins said: Stay classy. Can we expect your response to Chris today?

Mike and Ken stayed around and answered questions. You should have stayed too as it would been better for you to ask questions of the team. In any the discussion ended on a positive note. Rt66 came outside and had a good discussion with Mike Jbara. I don't understand why you bring up the point about money. MQA has never been shy about wanting to make $. They are a startup and need to pay people and make investments. They also know (as I have explained here several times here) that to get participants in the ecosystem, you have to provide value and money for all the participants. All successful businesses work this way. It's even more important when you are trying to establish a new audio standard or way of doing something. You are dodging the main issue. You said Chris's presentation was biased. Either provide evidence or an apology.

Popular Post kumakuma Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2019 1 hour ago, Lee Scoggins said: Paul, this is an excellent post, I am here simply expressing an opinion in favor of MQA based on listening sessions of non-MQA and MQA files on my own system. I am not paid or otherwise remunerated by the MQA. I just think there is some value to the format both in terms of sound quality and the possibility of getting even more hirez files out of the labels. My "megaphone" in the market is too small to influence a large number of people to be either for MQA or against it. The future of MQA is more likely to be decided by participants in their ecosystem, such as streaming services and automotive firms. One observation, though, is that personal attacks against me are not only unnecessary but take away from any valid points you are making in the argument. How's your review of Chris's slides going? crenca, MikeyFresh and Ralf11 1 1 1 Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby Edgy and dull and cut a six inch valley Through the middle of my skull Link to comment
kumakuma Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 17 minutes ago, Lee Scoggins said: My conclusion is that Chris did not give MQA a chance to present their side of each point in the argument and, more importantly, did not present the MQA counterpoints we have been discussing all year or even include some of the relevant studies that were sent to him and other journalists. My memory may be failing me here but wasn't MQA presented with an opportunity to review these slides before Chris's presentation?
