I would guess that a decoded MQA file then put into a system will be degraded thereafter by the abilities, or lack of, in said system.

A decoded MQA file in a fully compatible DSP system would be also rendered (due to Meridians proprietary technology) perfectly to the speaker cone with no degradation.

Result, perfect reproduction of the Master Quality.

That's how I understand it but I could be wrong. Chris smile
