RE: MQA questions

No, you understand incorrectly. MQA is not lossless. It is a lossy system. However, the "loss" starts from a higher than CD resolution. The claim is to get all of the "audible" benefits of true high resolution audio while using only slightly more bandwidth an a basic CD.

Of course, all digital formats are "lossy" when compared against an original analog signal. A FLAC version of a WAV file may losslessly reproduce WAV file, but neither version can represent the analog original perfectly.
