That is true. However, there may be many situations when you have access to MQA files but not MQA decoding, so the quality is still important.

And I would have thought that many Meridian owners would be curious to hear what these files sound like, having waited so long, even if they have yet to hear them at full resolution. This might be especially true for those who have not been to any of the Meridian demonstrations.

And I think that impressions of these files undecoded is still of serious interest. Has the "better than CD" claim been vindicated? This is surely something worthy of debate or does this forum not do that kind of thing any more?
