It’s just clever digital signal processing You need to have a contract and NDA with them to get anything encoded, and even then the encoding happens in a cloud service when they keep the encryption keys secure. You need some more paperwork and some $20k to have your own encoding server and encryption keys. And then only decoders pre-approved by MQA are allowed to decode it. Sounds awful lot like DRM doesn't it? Clever digital signal processing doesn't need to contaminate entire supply chain with a proprietary closed codec that doesn't allow people to encode their content and test signals. And reduces quality to achieve lossy compression without actually saving any bandwidth. Clever digital signal processing would do it's magic at playback side with the original uncontaminated lossless content. For all the content you already have. I'm quite sick and tired of walled gardens, especially when it comes to content. maxijazz, MikeyFresh and kumakuma 2 1 Signalyst - Developer of HQPlayer Pulse & Fidelity - Software Defined Amplifiers Link to comment
