Thanks for posting, a well balanced article I thought.

I thought this would be the case:

While the MQA decoder can incorporate software-based DSP for room correction or EQ (e.g. in AV Receivers), any such processing (including sample-rate conversion or software-based upsampling), can’t be introduced between the decoder and the DAC chip without breaking the chain.
And I suspect this is why the 808.6/818.2 does not have MRC (yet?) and also why the 861v9 is not ready for release.
