I'd like to ask about MQA decoding. Does it require hardware, software or both? Will there be a Linux software decoder library which will be able to be incorporated into the existing linux audio ecosystem (perhaps something similar to how Nvidia provides proprietry graphics drivers for its video cards to the Linux community)? Can you indicate what sort of licensing fee, if any, might be required for the enthusiast running their own Linux music playback system for personal use who would like to be able to decode MQA. Many thanks for any enlightenment.
