Get a load of that MQA marketing BS (About MQA).

Hehe. I heard about them supporting it a couple of years ago at CES. Good to see it coming now.

Could you more explicitly state what exactly is the accusation here?

He thinks everyone here should be anti-MQA....

Amir also engages in the unnecessary folding of dining napkinks .. they end up all creased and dont sit on your lap properly.

Another symptom of mild OCD?

I like MQA. I have used it for some time with Tidal and a full decoder and it sounds great in most cases and in some cases pretty amazing.
Yes I've read all the get off my lawn diatribes against it.

So, as a summary: you have done full blind comparison listening to the same source with and without MQA and after multiple tests you came to conclusion that MQA is a great stuff? Is that it?

I’d call it more of an observation than an accusation. Anyway, it’s already as explicitly stated as it could be, I think. I’ll leave it to you to figure it out on your own.

Not everyone, just the rational, intelligent, unbiased, intellectually honest types.

Wrong forum for that!

Everything must be measurable. If it measures the same, it MUST sound the same. Is that it?

For electronics, yes. For transducers, good luck finding any two that measure the same.

 

[Pillars]

Well, I've got some amps that measure pretty darn close that sound different. Must be ear problems Jotunheim and THX789 for instance, their differences shouldn't be audible but - one sounds like a wall of sound and the other quite spacious. Measurements show precise things that are being looked for but never catch it all.

 

[SIY]

How did you set up the double blind test to determine that?

So what is never being caught?

One way to prove that. Soooooooooooo,......?

Hey, give Amir a break: At least he doesn't cut half the napkin off, and then fold the remaining part in half, ruining the bottom 1/16th of the remaining part in the process - and then charge you extra money to unfold that mess, and then tell you that what you're left with is even better than the original napkin was.
