Xanavi,
I tend to disagree, the failed formats were all passing formats that had rivals doing the same job already. This could be said for MQA but I consider that to be false.
MQA will be used to archive music, as from my understanding, nothing else gives the same accurate Analog sound with the added advantage of low storage requirements.
The music industry needs MQA as they can re sell the archive, save monies in distribution and deliver quality economically in a streaming world.
The audiophiles (in the main) want the best quality possible. There will always be the 'Flat Earth' brigade.
Hi Fi companies want to re juvinate their offerings and boost sales in the process.
Recording equipment suppliers have similar intentions throughout the complete recording chain.
The masses, in time will get used to better audio just as they have with video. When they understand this experiencialy, they won't want to go back.
Believe it or not, there are people in the music business who actually care about quality and with enough of them in key positions, will be able to exert their influence to make positive changes.
Nobody is taking poorer quality music away and the Flat Earthers don't have to buy it. (For Now).
Just solidifying my understandings and thoughts, Chris
