MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote!


Vote please. Simply yes or no. Let’s get a handle on our collective thinking.
The discussions are getting nauseating. Intelligent(?) People are claiming that they can remove part of the music (digits), encode the result for transport over the net, then decode (reassemble) the digits remaining after transportation (reduced bits-only the unnecessary ones removed) to provide “Better” sound than the original recording.
If you feel this is truly about “better sound” - vote Yes.
If you feel this is just another effort by those involved to make money by helping the music industry milk it’s collection of music - vote no.
Lets know what we ‘goners’ think.
P.S. imho The “bandwidth” problem this is supposed to ‘help’ with will soon be nonexistent. Then this “process” will be a ‘solution’ to a non existing problem. I think it is truly a tempest in a teacup which a desperate industry would like to milk for all its worth, and forget once they can find a new way to dress the Emporer. Just my .02

Uberwaltz,

Not the least bit angry.
More like people are just not listening to what I have said many, many times
- please continue to enjoy whatever format you enjoy.
No-one can deny anyone that prerogative(using this word for the umpteenth time).
Hope this finally sinks in.

Enjoy the music!

Thanks jon2020 for the clarification.

The demo I heard was back and forth, through the same dac (Ayre I believe)

Regards

Thanks, keithtexas, for letting us know that the dac was an Ayre. 

As the Ayre is a non-MQA dac, it is unlikely that they could demo mqa with it. It is probably some other MQA-capable dac on demo.

No worries. At an audio show, many of us including myself, get confused with what is playing in what room at what time. :)
There will never be a "winner" in this debate
Agreed that everybody should just listen and "hear" what they desire.
There are many more subjects in the audio world with science a plenty to "prove" that what some hear is not possible.
Let us just leave it at that
It is all subjective of course. No one here is looking for any winner from a handful of votes.

People will hear what they want to hear which is perfectly acceptable in this hobby.

Outside of this hobby, people also see what they want to see which is acceptable too.

What I find very interesting is people reading what they want to read. Now, that’s too funny.

Enjoy the music! :)
