Excellent explanation in the video.

@Anthony-Howard - The implication (at least from where I was sitting) seemed to be that 192/24 was equal to MQA in sound quality (and that both are superior to 96/24). He also seemed to say that 144/20 was all that was really needed, but the hi-fi world chose more bits mostly for marketing reasons (I'm not really sure I buy the technical reasons).

However, the impression from what I had read elsewhere on this subject was that the impulse response of MQA was greater than that of 192/24 and that this increased response was necessary to get the improvements in imaging people have heard in MQA.

I guess time will tell...

PS one afterthought: didn't the demo speakers show an encoding frequency of something like 384 KHz?
