RE: Doesn't 2L record in DXD? How did they settle on the MQA Sample rate?

The "original file" (whatever the original master was) is not recovered from the decoded MQA. That would be mathematically impossible if the original file was at a higher resolution than 44/24 or 48/24, since there would not be enough bits. Rather, a "lossy" version of the original file is recovered.

There is some marketing hype that MQA can be better than the original file itself. If you believe that, there's a bridge in Brooklyn you can purchase. Of course if you compare an MQA version made from one master with a different master file (or CD downsample thereof) you may discover that the difference in mastering is 100x greater than any format differences.
