maxijazz Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 That Andy (nice work on exposing him guys) posed as “old dog”, but he did not know basic netiquette. You don’t attack autochthons nor ask questions answered elsewhere on forum/discussion group. That was suspicious Link to comment

Maybe he forgets to take his Thorazine when they let him out of the nuthouse for the weekend. Telling someone he forgot to take his meds is an enough reason for a ban. Don't play the ad-hominem route if you can't win the discussion. The problem seems already solved, as he wanted to leave CA. 9 hours ago, mansr said: It exists on their website: https://mytekdigital.com/brooklyn-adc/ "Brooklyn ADC is the first commercially available ADC to feature built in MQA Kernel (TM) to be used for mastering to MQA streaming format." My best guess for what this means is that they take the 384 kHz (or possibly DSD) output from the ADC chip and downsample it to 96 kHz using the leaky MQA filters. What is clear is that this device does not incorporate an MQA encoder. It is merely the encoding side counterpart to the so-called renderer for playback. I'm on FB with one of the designers. My source at Mytek just tells me there will be an MQA mode which will be enabled via a software update, for existing Brooklyn ADC customers. They are still working with MQA to enable it, but also tells me progress is slow.

And note he specifically denied an industry affiliation, even though he writes reviews and clearly is part of the industry. IIRC he claimed no affiliation with MQA however he did not declare his industry connection. I find the latter disingenuous irrespective of what side of the MQA fence you sit. 5 hours ago, mansr said: It's interesting to look at who upvotes posts by these guys too. Always the same two or three names. I may be guilty of this. Sometimes it is just nice to hear contrary views rather than simply follow the herd. Science and mathematics are disinterested, they don't care or have any agendas or bias.For this reason alone I would have liked to have heard more from Mr Schaub, posting as Mr Schaub, politely (use the word "professionally" or "scientifically" if you dont like "politely") debating the subject. Sadly, he resorted to ad hominem attacks and appeared to lose his composure. Well, not exactly an isolated phenomenon on CA. IMO it wasn't without some provocation but that is not the point.

There is nothing to debate. The sampling theorem is nearly (or over, depending on which version you prefer) 100 years old, and Fourier analysis predates this by another century and some. None of it is remotely controversial. Mr Schaub, however, exhibited a very confused and limited understanding of the mathematical concepts. Whatever he studied at Stanford, these topics were either not covered or he wasn't paying attention. 40 minutes ago, Audiophile Neuroscience said: Sadly, he resorted to ad hominem attacks and appeared to lose his composure.
