The subject Rodney Crowell CD released yesterday certainly does not show MQA on the label. The record label Is New West, home to Steve Earle, Drive By Truckers, and many other critical favorites of Americana or Roots Rock. I think that the bandwidth theory may be(not New West specifically) Studios' primary consideration also. MQA on CD will be a niche market which might flourish in Japan, for instance, like other technologies. I guess Dr Aix and others could sell downloads and CDs under this space-saving rationale.
