Thanks Altus.

So the MQA endpoint is not the DSP speaker. Would the MQA endpoint need to know which speaker (5200SE, 7200SE, 8000SE) is playing the audio in order to correctly correct (!)the A2D errors?

And if full-fat decoded MQA is not to be available unencrypted then only MHR-capable (i.e. proprietary Meridian) products could be MQA end-points for DSPs?

These questions are not criticisms of MQA or anyone's understanding, just seeking to further the theoretical debate.

Clearly we need an entry-level, MQA-capable end-point. The 808/818 are flagships but a (say) replacement AC200 which could take an encoded MQA stream from an MS200/MS600 would surely appeal to DSP5200SE owners, or even any legacy DSP owner?

Mods, I think this is now starting to drift off topic and perhaps should be moved or given its own thread?

In the spirit of Spinaltap, I would like to confirm that I am not involved in the corrupt theft of a global sport.
