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

NO - It's tied to DRM versus bandwidth.
I can get the same effect using the Loudness function in JRiver.
I'm going to go out on a 50 foot long, 1 inch thick limb here.  I'm perfectly content listening to vinyl on my Denon DP-59L w/Stanton 881S cartridge into a Pioneer SX-1250 receiver, terminating in a pair of Bose 901 Series II speakers.  There, I said it.
See FredericV's posts on the Computer Audiophile site. The best technical- oriented exposition of the pro's and con's of MQA! Mrs. Atkinson and Harley should read it! "Little blue light" indeed!

The industry never learned from the failure of HDCD

HDCD didn’t fail, it was a great success, and worked far better than MQA and you didn’t pay for it, until Microsoft bought it from PMD ( Pacific Microsonic Devices) and then did nothing with it and let it die.

But thank god now Professor Kieth Johnson the inventor of it I believe has bought it back of Microsoft, I and is using once again in his incredible sounding 24/96 pcm "Reference Recordings", that MQA can’t come close to in sound quality.

BTW: there are thousands upon thousands of HDCD recording out there, many of which are not labelled the the HDCD logo.
