Jeje, here is a quote detailing the MQA process/format. The MQA decoder thus has been designed to have a transient response of the same order as that of the temporal sensitivity of the ear-brain. I believe he mentioned 7 microseconds. I don't believe he was talking about amps but rather passive speakers. I could be wrong! See Stereophile MQA blog entry for a great overview of MQA, as detailed as they come.

I think it was like 7 microseconds.
Although he indicated that my amplifiers did not have a fast enough response time.

I am sorry that they did not play you the MQA file of the Ravel String Quartet. This, for me, was the most impressive of all. Yeah but it is even better in the original multichannel.  Which recording was that?

No, I did not attend this particular MQA demo but Bob Stuart played that recording, among others, for me at CES. I own and treasure the original but my "comparison" is merely from memory.
