Very few people have had the opportunity to compare an original Hi-Res file and then directly listen to the 'MQA version' of that file... as those in the TAS link above have done.

From what we are 'READING' so far, it does seem we are about to get our cake... and eat it smile

I'm waiting to be able to have a similar demo... but with production firmware on SE speakers and production spec 818v3 (to eradicate the variables).

Then I'll let my ears decide where I go from there... not what anyone else thinks (be that positive or Negative).

From the MQA demo that I have attended, I was pretty much sold within 3 seconds anyway... but it's always good to get a second opinion... especially with the costs involved.

Can't wait to hear 'Brothers in arms' in MQA. How much better can that sound?
