I will say I was an MQA hater because they tried like Sony to lock up a market with a single standard technology they controlled. The bigeest objection by most seemed to be against claims of superior sound and clarity. That said I was intrigued by the folding scheme stacking parts of the digital signal in unused portions of the bit and word portions of the file but that never seemed to get much attention as "storage was cheap and available". Maybe for small sized devices say watches that could be valuable. Sorry if I described wrong, I'm an ME (my usual excuse)
