I find it quite bizarre that those who haven't even heard MQA in operation think themselves qualified to offer opinions, especially when they try to get technical and talk about smearing etc. It really is something that you just have to listen to, if you like it then great, if not then no further action is needed.

It's not even a technology that Linn or Naim could claim is detrimental to their business or the industry. Given they also master audio it adds another string to their bow so until it gets established they and others might just do well to remain quietly on the sidelines.
