Popular Post Samuel T Cogley Posted February 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2018 Voted: Against Reason: Spencer Chrislu from MQA has stated unequivocally that MQA is marketed to the record labels as a way to "protect the crown jewels", and those "crown jewels" are high resolution PCM files. Also, to date, I've not experienced myself, or heard anyone I trust proclaim that MQA is better than the PCM file it's sourced from. Best case, "as good as". MQA has not, as far as I can see, motivated the record labels to increase the sound quality of their digital masters. Peak limiting and off the charts loudness still rule the day. MQA is a scam and the professional audiophile pundit class (with a handful of exceptions) have utterly embraced it as the savior of audiophilia. It's a classic Emperor's New Clothes story, and a teachable moment in consumerism IMHO. Sonicularity, Teresa, Spacehound and 3 others 3 2 1 Link to comment

You'll forgive me if I don't embrace this as a reason to be enamored of MQA. I don't want DRM, and there's no amount of lipstick that will make that pig pretty to me. maxijazz 1 Link to comment
