As the MQA algortitm has a known input and output so it can be reverse engineered . We will probably at some point have a reverse engineered library .
In the past with MLP Meridian liaison with Dolby and now its trued-HD or something . So there is some kind of MQA consosrtium , maybe partly to be able to step in such matters to enforce rigths . Dolby get their due from the chip makers and most audio brands ,with the probable exception of some Chinese made dvd players etc , they dont care much for "patent" "license" copying was/is rampant . That leads to for example ffmpeg who clearly do AC3 audio aka Dolby Digital ? so this is not unheard off ? how does it do that . So this is a situation similar to libpsotify except no one knows if dolby is involved or if its reverse engineered. Seems like many libraries for linux audio contains truckloads of reverse engineered codecs ? Libavconv ? I tried to figure out but it becomes complicated well above my pay grade https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html A kind of grey area where things sometimes go under the radar . But I think it can heat up in audio products . If some one makes a multimedia streamers who really is a small linux box running mpd or squeezelite or anything and sell it as a pre-packed product . Then I think Dolby ,MQA , DTS et all want thier money and you to put their sticker on the front . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
