Seriously, Bob Stuart is the L Ron Hubbard of the (digital) audio world.  MQA is like those old commercials where Dianetics is the solution to everything.  P. 123, how to improve your sex life.  P 345, how fix your bicycle.  P. 213, how to attain eternal bliss...

 

 

MQA is getting "rapid acceptance" on Scientology cruise ships with measles outbreaks

Good!! This site needs a discussion of photography, the Nature of Art, and the Germanic Total Art Movement, and why it never caught on much elsewhere.

MQA is a short acronym

The MQA-related threads at Audiophile Style remain an invaluable repository of informed opinion. Mr. Nuts (my apologies if it's Dr. Nuts) leaves me grasping for words, such is my awestruck admiration. In the context of his thoughtful posting above, we can contrast the engineering qualifications and relevant professional experience of two industry giants and confidently judge the utility of what each has to say. We are truly blessed to have so many beacons of truth selflessly offering their expertise on AS forums as, miraculously, these considered and authoritative opinions are not routinely celebrated elsewhere.

Are You suggesting that this little overachiever is putting a show against the known heavyweights like dcs, totaldac, MSB and alike..? Soundwise that is. If so, I beg to disagree. Near SOTA digital performance is not the same as saying it sounds as good. In audio "nearly as good" can mean all the difference in the World.

 

All in all it is lovely design and well worth the money.

 

Just saying. 

 

 

did you/your colleagues do a comparison listening session?

 

if so, is it posted somewhere?
