So what is the point of a proprietary format that sounds somewhat better than 16/44, when one can use an open format (e.g. FLAC) to listen to the higher res master directly? This is no improvement whatsoever in sound quality. It is, at best a question of bit-bumming, i.e. conserving network bandwidth, a resource that is already effectively free compared to the costs of music production.
As a marketing scam, in the extremely unlikely event this succeeds, MQA might be a brilliant move, but it's nothing that has anything to do with high quality audio.
