Given its backwards compatibility on a large number of players it only need be adopted as the main format by the likes of Tidal, spotify, Napster and the downloadable media outlets to get widespread adoption. If the end users choose to invest in kit that can decode MQA then that's a bonus, as I understand it the decoders are being licenced to the OEM's free of charge so I think there is very little (bar content) to stop this becoming the next 'big' format.

Having spoken to the tin foil hat audiophile brigade there is some scepticism regarding the quality over and above red book which some still see as an unbeatable format, others don't like the fact the sound is going to be 'different' and not identical to the red book version and rest don't think it is possible to fold all of the information in to such a compact file without discarding audible data.

I know of a few people that won't even try streaming audio on their systems because it's not CD. :|
