Is this MQA news a big deal?

Just now stumbled across this release regarding DACs from ESS adding MQA, but I'm not certain if it means there'll likely be many companies offering MQA decoding soon enough. Or if it perhaps means something else. Any thoughts?

You might not like MQA right now (with the right equipment, it can sound fantastic), but if they make future improvements and then you want it, your $7000 is wasted. If you bought a dac that supports it now, its your choice to use MQA or not.
