Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] 20 interesting facts about MQA
What about all the recordings that mastered <=48kHz ( 99% ) They want MQA encode every old record as usual and resell to us again. Even if this process worked it could only be aplied to these select 24/192 DXD DSD master that do exist. And the legacy recordings should be left alone . Same patterns as with SACD and DVDA where atleast 50% of the releases where not hirez in any way.

I ordered a copy of Mark Waldrep's book & download files quite a while back following a recommendation on this forum & have been waiting patiently for them. It certainly looks like it's going to be worth the wait - he certainly shoots straight from the hip in the quoted extracts! :D However, I am saddened to hear of the health issues that his family are currently experiencing.
