Hi all
I really don't wish to stoke the flames but also being liberally minded, I don't see why there is so much negative feeling about MQA. It isn't been forced on anybody, its the end users choice surely? I guess we would have had the same issues over the Beatles moving from mono to stereo LPs if there had been the forums around at the time. I do remember a lot of negativity around the introduction of CDs back in the 1980's, some of it justified but later addressed by remastering in the 2000's. I listened to Ella Fitzgerald on a pair of DSP7200's at Meridian on a dealers day out (thanks Rick) and it blew me away in terms of presentation and clarity, this is a recording from the 1950's.
I look forward to a time when I can afford to upgrade my system to play MQA properly (any contributions gratefully received!)
Cheers
Jon
