MQA - All the Gory details over at Stereophile


In case anyone is interested, Stereophile just barfed up a large collection of documentation on MQA.  I've already done my best to prevent that conversation from being constructive, as I always do, but if anyone else wants to add to it, there or here, please do!

Best,

@mahler123:2L

has some, but I don't know about the provenance, that is, how well the ADC encoding was compensated for. I believe they just took existing very hi rez PCM and converted.  The file size reduction is pretty impressive, that I can vouch for.

You can go listen for yourself here: http://www.2l.no/hires/

Otherwise, a lot of the comments posted at Stereophile are along the same lines you are asking about. :)

I agree that the samples of music did nothing for me, but then, I'm afraid none of the samples at 2L did all that much for me, in any format. :)

Maybe it's just not my type of recording.

I have some 2L Blu Ray recordings as they were a Pioneer in Blu Ray Audio but haven't played the much
