If it's all blurry, how will comparing a blurry CD with a blurry Hi-Res give me a warm fuzzy?
You'll have a warm fuzzy blurry!

This is too technical for me to follow ........can you put it in layman’s terms ?Supposedly all your music is terribly blurry. You notice obvious improvement with unblurred recordings. Yet mqa goes to great lengths to never let you do a direct comparison.
You could compare a native 384 recording to 48. Much less blur at 384 so the story goes. Try the 2L free downloads.
My sight when I'm not wearing glasses. One set for distance and one set for close, only old folks wear those bifocal thingies.What's blurred?

if only we had a simple device for our ears to compensate for hearing loss
That is an excellently done article and finally deals with all the inaccuracies out there regarding MQA. I was also happy to see they are addressing EQ in MQA implementations. That was a critical failing and strangely so, given Meridian's commitment to DSP so far back.
One example is that they properly explain what rights management is in there versus FUD that is created against it by people who don't know what DRM is.What’s «excellently» in the article and what «inaccuracies» did you have in mind?
I am not a big supporter of MQA. Indeed calling me a supporter would be stretch.I understand you’re a big supporter of MQA, but I need you to lay out your reasoning in order for me to understand your enthusiasm for MQA.
Wouldn't MQA as a system look terrible in your DAC measurements? Maybe the DACs you dismiss as broken are just implementing a really clever 'proprietary' algorithm, too.I also defend Bob Stuart as probably a handful of engineers involved in high-end audio where he actually knows what he is talking about. As such I don't appreciate the rocks people throw at him in order to discredit MQA.

But why would we need one? The real world hasn't changed, just our interface to it. If we add a device to our stereo which compensates the loss of our hearing the stereo will no longer sound anything like real world to us any more, since we listen both to the real world and our stereo with the ears we now have.if only we had a simple device for our ears to compensate for hearing loss

Capabilities? You mean projection of stuff that could happen that don't exist? I read plenty of that from antagonists of MQA. For now, what is sorely missing is them understanding what DRM is. He needs to read the article just posted.You might want to have a chat with Mans Rullgard about the capability present in the MQA products he has reverse engineered.

Eventually for sure.If MQA becomes universal, does that mean that every manufactured music playing device will have an 'MQA chip' fitted? Or at least a secure implementation of the system?

And oh, if he has reverse engineered it, what is the concern about its proprietary nature again?
The blue light proves exactly ... nothing.
I get the lack of trust of the music biz, they have proved multiple times if they can screw the public and think they will get away with it they will, who wants a rootkit with that. But it seems to me that in this case they already have this in hand, the growth of streaming will deliver it, especially once they get to some sort of tipping point where they feel confident to reduce CD pressing runs, because 'no one wants them anymore', driving further adoption of streaming for some holdouts, similar playbook to how they got rid of vinyl in the 90s.And finally, it results in what everyone in the business wanted all along: secure digital distribution of recorded music.
