It's true.

I only read the comments in the AA post; I didn't click on the link. It's those comments in particular that did--and still do--strike me as less than neutral. In particular, describing MQA as "Bob Stuart's audio file compression technology" editorializes--or, alternatively, it may just be poorly informed. Maybe the Wikipedia author doesn't know that MQA is/claims to be far more than a compression technology.

Also odd (to me) is the claim that MQA is a major revenue source for "the company"--is that Meridian or the investor? Does Meridian, or the Muse Group, have an ownership stake in MQA? I'm of course aware that there's a connection between the two companies--Stuart--but Meridian (or Muse group, whichever was meant) would not get credit for MQA revenues unless there was a formal relationship.

I have now checked the citations. I even found the Variety article; the link is broken in the Wikipedia article. But no source is mentioned for the claims about revenues--so that must be "inside information"--hence no way for neutral parties to corroborate.

Best,
Jim
