Not personal at all, although it sounds like that may only be the case for me and not you. You seem worked up. You made a super broad inaccurate generalization and people called that out, that's all. Nothing personal, so no need to make it that way.I think you (and others) are taking a generalization about a niche topic in a niche hobby way too personally. The pattern exists across many hobbies, it's not some crazy revelation.
On the topic of MQA and your $770 DAC purchase, it sounds like you've already let politics bias your perception of innovation that has occurred. That is luddite territory.
You also are making a pretty big leap thining you know my reasons for my purchases. I have a Denon that does MQA on a different system in my house. I've compared several times between the Tidal Connect feature with MQA and using AirPlay from the Tidal app on my phone (limiting it to 16/44) and I hear absoltely zero difference... at all. None. Zilch. Nada. So, rather than think I needed something I don't and let that guide my choices, I instead let the rest of my system requirements dictate my purchase. I never even thought about MQA one way or the other. No politics... just don't care and didn't need to spend money on snake oil.
There is a lot of nuance in the world, no need to paint everybody with broad strokes.
