Please stop misrepresenting what I wrote 3 years ago. As I explained to "regmac"
a couple of days ago, my "birth of a new world" was not specifically about
MQA's sound quality. While this was indeed excellent in the December 2014
demonstration, the first part of the "new world" I mentioned in the
article's title involved the benefit MQA encoding offered streaming.
Second, the more general point was that MQA's approach to digital audio
data encoding, reducing all the stages between the input of the A/D
converter to the output of the D/A converter to a transparent "pipe," was
a back-to-first-principles approach that I found elegant in the extreme.
