This is the exact comparison I performed and have written about in
Stereophile, using the hi-rez PCM master files for some of my recordings
and MQA versions that I had had prepared. Doug Schneider had asked Bob
Stuart to prepare and send him files to compare, but Bob Stuart didn't do
so. Hence in Doug's view, such comparisons have never been performed.
