This was what I was told also. Although Doug Schneider continues to insist
that there were no comparisons at the 2016 CES, the comparisons performed
for the press at CES included some of Peter McGrath's recordings in both
the original hi-rez PCM and MQA versions. See our report at the link
below; people might think that these comparisons were not performed as
they would wish, but that does not mean that there were _no_ comparisons.

It is also relevant to note that Peter had performed these comparisons in
an earlier public event at New York dealer Innovative Audio, at which I
was present. Sequencing in those tests was A-B-A or B-A-B, so that the
advantage given the second file played was compensated for.
