The two key phrases on the DSP datasheet seem to be:

- They fully support Meridian�s revolutionary MQA process...

and:

- When fed from an MQA decoder...

which imply that (i) a h/w upgrade is not necessary ( smile ) and (ii) that an upstream MQA decoder is necessary.

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
