Yeah, you're right; I was thinking that an existing FLAC, etc., decoder would require no additional modifications, but that doesn't seem right, does it? So perhaps those decoders will have to be updated for MQA. Seems like it would be an easy software patch. Or firmware, if devices are doing it in hardware. Otherwise, why bother sticking to existing containers for the content delivery?

I may attend this event, held by my dealer, where I can learn more. . .or attend just because it sounds cool. . . cool
