I'm disappointed that a company like Berkely,
Espousing dedication to fidelity, wouldn't have known and spoken of the false claims of MQA. My gut tells me they must have known; so shame on them.
MQA ..very much like both the A2D and the DAC ( in many cases plural ) used to create / mix / deliver the modern music we all enjoy… ( or not ) ALL have issues… attempting to fix those issues - often directly liked to the various filters ESSENTIAL to ALL digital IS / WAS a noble pursuit… Did you ask the very accomplished people at Berkeley ? I own a DAC still in production some ten years in… @erik_squires .. i view this as good compared to the seemingly endless parade of dac de jour round here…. |
@ptss When you demo’d multiple MQA recordings vs th 16/44 versions did they all sound better/worse/the same to you? |
