I mean...this IS an audiophile forum...right?

Yes, it is!  But with respect, let's agree to disagree.  MQA is not audiophile to me but snake oil or may be even worse.

 Perhaps his Vacuum Tube preamplifier makes MQA sound better ? 😉 

It is not his fault.  I would blame there no rules or standard governing the use of certain names which will convey to consumer the idea of superiority over the others.  It is a possible case of misrepresentation.

What hardware and music did you use to come to this conclusion about MQA?

My friend, I believe if you are interested to discover my audio system you can click on my avatar and discover yourself.  But for your sake I copied and showed it to you below.  However, I do not believe my current audio system make me arrived at the conclusion cos' I have changed gears along these years since MQA surfaced in the market.  It is the source that matters.

 

Stereo: NAS & MSB Premier Dac (Isotek EVO3 Acension PC) --> Crystal Future Dream XLR --> Soulution 525 (Crystal Future Dream PC) --> Crystal Future Dream XLR --> Soulution 311 (Isotek EVO3 Acension PC) --> Crystal Kondo Operia SPs 2.7--> Audio Physic Midex

 

AV: OPPO 203 / Pioneer LX500 --> Pioneer LX-901--> ELAC CC 241.3, KEF LS-50,  KEF R-50, JL 110

 

Power Conditioner for Stereo: Isotek EVO3 Mosaic Genesis & Isotek EVO3 Genesis One

Power Conditioner for AV: Isotek EVO3 Sigmas

The MSB Premier supports MQA through the renderer module and it obviously has the resolution to expose hi-res recordings. This systems seems like it should have no problem with revealing MQA qualities (or lack thereof) unless you didn't have a MQA DAC at the time. Can you think of some albums that you were unimpressed with that made you discard MQA?

 

Really? Should I be glad to have my MSB supporting MQA? Why should I bother to explore MQA more knowing that it has been proved and shown that it has no evidence to support its claim of improving the SQ?  You believe what you believe but stop trying to believe you know better than others without supporting evidence, yet try to convince others to your belief.  Thank you very much!
