FredericV Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Were they inspired by MQA? "malware operators are experimenting with using WAV audio files to hide malicious code"https://it.slashdot.org/story/19/10/20/200249/wav-audio-files-are-now-being-used-to-hide-malicious-code MQA also hides crypto DRM data inside WAV files, then compressed as flac encoded distribution files - for which the flac encoder has a hard job as it's non-audio data. This data is only available to be decoded by licensed decoders. So if a WAV file does not compress well with flac, it's either an MQA file or one of these crooks spreading malware ....

I think "hanging out" isn't a good description, I just "pop in" to see if there is anything new and what sort of stuff the gang are going on about to keep the topic interesting. "All things Bob Stuart" is another poor term, I suppose it's meant to be a sort of insult. Meridian make some good gear, you'll never know about it, you simply dislike by association.

The company has had a great concept for decades. I've heard many of its products and have passed on them due to the sonic signature. It isn't my cup of tea.
