The MQA decoder stuff is in a number of new high end audio products. MQA is very proprietary about it for good reason, the bulk of its design and execution is very close to HDCD which is patented. I wonder how many other devices are using MPD or other GPL code improperly.

Some context for the curious: their MPD binary has a MQA decoder statically linked in. We know MQA is a bullshit "codec", but AFAIK there exists no free "decoder". Anyway, this is the most interesting GPL violation so far.
