I appreciate the issue but what about bass management? Clearly, it is just the redistribution of original content to additional output channels? And processes for Trifield or REQ should be considered superimpositions, not corruptions, if handled right.

I am not a stickler for getting the MQA light on as evidenced by my preference for listening to almost all my DSD sources converted to PCM in order to permit REQ. Same here.
