As for me, I am an audiophile of many years and have been subjected to much of the hype in both press and presentations by the audio kit industry, so I resonate with what you speak of. A revelation for me was looking at the listening rooms that certain published reviewers use in their own homes and one has to wonder how indeed do they manage to discern.
Once again the latest LED will be marketed as the greatest must have to the audio consumer.
Thank you for the music.

your comment about authentication leads to the broader question of provenance. What level of documentation is going to be required, to support the blue light.

It’s easy to set a bit of metadata on a file to say it’s authentic, but who authorises the engineer to mark the art as authentic, and what proof of the production chain integrity do they need.

We had all this already with the Chesky HD Tracks up sampling debacle, except in that case the fudged output was observable with tools. How would we do that with a proprietary lossy process.

Cheers,

Warren

MQA is very good at corporate speak and hiring corporate insiders, to then shill their like minded peers. And yes, MQA is selling DRM as if it was fidelity (not) and convenience (not). At present, some labels are releasing my work which was not approved or “authenticated” here, as MQA to a gullible public. It’s a factory approach to making money, be warned.

I fear they are ready to jump on the bandwagon as MQA offers them DRM that straight 24/96 might not. Or am I just not versed enough in this technology. I heard one MQA demo and did not think it was any better than 16/44, so for now, remain unconvinced.
