Since the MQA technologies are so innovative I am not surprised at the lack of good news coverage. The typical bloggers that conflate file size with fidelity are confounded by these developments.

The trained audio "ear" journalists such as TAS and Stereophile are super excited by the developments, as is the Tone publisher. I am looking forward to hearing it on 8000SE's for the first time in person in NYC soon.

This type of fundamental innovation will hopefully push other speaker manufacturers to improve their game, too as streamers and DAC builders license and upgrade their gear.
