The main issue here is that we don't have the original true 24 bit files to compare with.
So going to compare their leaky upsampler with our sox config, and see if the aliasing overlaps.
Putting the scale to 24 bit is no issue.

Coming back on this post, based on earlier truncation experiments:

 

I work with Japanese companies closely in my line work, and I have a decent understanding of the culture..they are early adapters...and MQA is clearly try to bank on this, hoping for some minor interest..

 

For those of us who missed it..just HOW do you play an MQA CD? Do you have to have a transport with a USB output?

Or a DAC that decodes MQA from S/PDIF. I think the Mytek ones do.

I thought that might be it..but for some reason I thought MQA was not compatible with S/PDIF..

 

So you have to purchase a MyTek DAC to get any "benefit". Lovely.

 

I'm ordering all 100 MQA CDs and a MyTek.
