Pioneer can sell a high quality, large high res screen, portable HQ MQA player for £500 meaning it likely costs closer to £125 to produce. I struggle to see how/why high end Meridian processors costing thousands of pounds don't have the necessary processing power to support MQA. Surely a card could be produced costing no more than a few hundred pounds.

I am a long term Meridian lover, not a hater, and I purchased my equipment because I liked the way it sounded when I purchased it. The launch of MQA does not make my system sound any worse!!!

Could I purchase the Pioneer player and get the full MQA benefit via my 861????
