“MQA is a philosophy”..John Stuart

It’s not really about MQA, or Bob Stuart.

It’s about having the entire industry locked into a standard that has a near 100% chance of being found to be at fault, found to be detrimental, found to be limited..to have that ’standard’ run into/as everything... and have that faulty low quality be all we can get, for very high costs.

For at least a decade.

A decade of music listening ruined. Forever. Gone. Wiped out.

About 1/4 of your music listening life, cut out from underneath you. If not half your listening life cut out from you, if MQA ends up having longer legs in the market.

wake up and fight it, or lose it.

So, instead of high fidelity, all you'll get is a forced pay ....for a 'good enough' format.

Wasn't CD bad enough? Did people not learn anything?

While I agree with your sentiment overall, I have more faith in the general public understanding what's really going on ( record company attempts to control the market and boost profit by intentionally cheapening the product to the masses and offering original quality we've been used to at a premium price to those willing to pay) and stopping MQA before it can do too much damage. Perhaps I'm being too optimistic thinking that the lion's share of music buying people are not gullible fools who believe they have to spend many thousands to get good accurate reproduction of recorded. music.

the same general public that fully embraced pre-recorded cassettes and mp3 vs the recording industry corporate giants...

an MQA DAC can be had cheap...

Wait 12 to 18 months...you will probably find a lot of MQA DAC in the "free stuff" section of your local waste transfer station.....
