@youurayy: And do you understand what MQA are talking about? I recommend reading the article on CA, including the numerous pages of comments, quite a few of which contain further analysis. Their whole spin now is to get around the fact that they told numerous reporters that they MQA would unfold to reproduce the original studio master, which was proven false.
Thanks for the perspective but I'm not convinced, I personally find the Q&A responses more intellectually engaging. Also perhaps let's not compare (strictly by instruments) the output of the very first MQA hardware implementations. Tidal has MQA, fine, we can still go and buy hi-res for $30 per album.
For me, the important keyword is "splines". Think of taps, but better?
Hierarchical Coding - A conceptual framework that models analogue as an infinite sample rate, finite word-size representation which can be approximated by a hierarchical chain of downward and upward splines. In MQA the transmission kernel is not a sine function, nor is it Gaussian, it is informed by neuroscience.
So and Pro iDSD doesn't support MQA as of yet?
