Thoughts on a Method to Compare MQA and Non-MQA Files

[Paul R]

Nice methodology. I have an A+ license, but not sure it is for the current version. 

 

Do you have any suggestions how to do this say with Roon?

That might well be the case, but I know it wasn't with the Beatles mono recordings, and I'm fairly certain it wasn't with Pet Sounds.  I also wonder whether it was the case (my guess is no) on the Phil Spector mono recordings I have.

 

Both of you guys are probably speaking true, but I admit, I don't know how you can have depth or height with just a mono recording. Would not any such artifacts be only from the speaker or speakers? 

 

I do not listen to very many monoral recordings, and when I do they sound clear and center placed to me, no real soundstage such as with stereo, just more like a phantom center channel.
