The Japanese are more known for their like of high res formats such as BluSpec , SHM etc. and NOT formats which degrade Audio. As Chris said above, MQA CD’s were pretty much made for the Japanese market. How popular? Who knows. And we don’t know if Mora Qualitas (MQ) will use MQA. No mention of MQA so far but that doesn’t mean it can be ruled out. Link to comment

Those markets are starting to follow. We’re prepared to go worldwide.” https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/why-sony-is-launching-a-hi-res-streaming-service-in-japan-767021/amp/ Right out of the high resolution playbook but as I've told Marc Finer (DEG) and many at the labels. You will find high resolution audio a very hard sell. Link to comment

I look forward to you coming up with a measurement that shows why one USB cable sounds different than another one. If they really sound different, there must be a real difference between them.

Yea, but radical subjectivist sandyk, is he (and thus his "reports") measurable...only in a qualitative way - from same "reports". None of this is on topic however.

Yeah, it sucks that the Non-Flat-Earth Borg Collective just keep coming up with these pictures and measurements about the Earth being spherical but that really has very little to do with how it really is. Experience and "atypical measurements" clearly tell us that the Earth really is flat.
