great stuff!

I miss understood where you were going. Please disregard my comment.

Paging @Allo @allo.com @ALLOaudio @ALLOsupport

When a company goes under, it's only the consumers who are screwed and without recourse. There's nobody to go after.

People in HiFi got burned by the DRM in MusicGiants downloads. None of the music is playable anymore unless one strips the DRM.

We went to dinner in Munich a couple years ago with some other HiFi writers. It was brought up in the same conversation. Dinner didn’t work on me though.

So true. At some point one has to follow the money. Perhaps that point should be the first step in anything, including those reading what I write. I have no issues with people being skeptical and asking questions. I’m not suggesting direct payments but hey, even I’ve been asked if there was anything that could be done for me. As in, “Is there anything we can do for you?” During a conversation about @Archimago‘s article.

Remember, there’s no way judge complete formats. What tracks did you listen to? also, remember that some MQA sounds far different from those who worked on the album say it should sound. If you like a flavor other than what the artist intended that’s totally OK. But, we shouldn’t mandate a flavor for everyone and that’s what MQA does.

by the way, even if @Archimago released his name, do people actually think the conversation would change? Heck no. Let’s practice, how about the old guard addresses the issues as if his name is Roy Smith and he lives here on Earth. Will never happen. Those are the hard questions. Questioning his pseudonym is the easy route. Whatever happened to doing things not because they are easy but because they are hard?

Find an expert on anything for a trial and I’ll find one who will say the opposite. Court system is a joke with respect to this. i.e. O.J. Simpson. Nobody supporting MQA will address any of Archimago’s facts because it wouldn’t support their narrative. Instead they go after the person. That’s quite Presidential.

Hi Jim - With respect to MQA and all other objective matters, pseudonyms don't matter. 2+2=4 no matter what your name is and no matter if you're paid by the Pure PCM corporation. @Archimago is saying 2+2=4.

We are in the post-factual era.

Done

If you only knew the real story behind the scenes. I have no hate for Meridian, just think some products don’t sound good. Ultra DAC is good.
