 Maybe these listeners in Japan are getting their MQA from e-onkyo music store

"" Japan is the world’s second largest market for recorded music sales worldwide. Music in MQA format is currently available in Japan on the e-onkyo music store, most notably recordings from acclaimed Japanese label UNAMAS and the entire catalogue of ‘Anime’ specialist label Falcom. Indie-oriented digital music service, Ototoy, has plans to offer MQA music later this year, including recordings from the Beagle Kick label. ""

 

And "" http://hiresaudiocentral.com/synthax-japans-rme-premium-recordings-to-release-mqa-music/

Um nice theory, but does not fly:

 

38.4% listened to physical CDs.

27% played their favorite tracks from ripped digital files.

9.7% listened to music downloads.

8.7% listened to online radio.

6% used free streaming platforms.

3.9% paid to stream their tracks.

The good ole weasel words "I'm told." That's as good as the classic, "Some would say..." Both give you license to say anything you want without repercussions. That is if the audience isn't very astute. 

 

I'd cut a check for five figures if anyone could show me a more educated audience, with respect to MQA, than here on CA. It's especially not true of Japan, where the physical disc reigns supreme and they are buying thousand dollar glass CDs. 

Exactly, and a "journalist" should be held to an even higher standard for either phrase...fyi..see my posted links.

 

Been to Japan? I have, just recently, and the record stores are PACKED. And the lines are long. Came back with some sweet SACDs.

Just fact checking your statement  and you wrote " no MQA in Japan. " 

 

Which there is some available.

I meant no "MQA widespread or even, any adoption". JVS claims the Japanese are more "educated" and enthusiastic about MQA.

Its appears the writer went overboard with his statement without any proof of whom these educated people are. . It could be for for all we know , a group of people at RME Premium Recordings which are supposed to release MQA music,.

did you mean play hardball?

 

play hardball: to act or work aggressively, competitively, or ruthlessly, as in business or politics.

 

seems you post like this habitually. Why? It's a hobby forum.

If playing hardball is saying or posting precisely what you think, yes.

(Except on forums where by joining we have agreed some limits.)

 

Go nothing to do with aggression.

Here mostly it's people not being  ignorant  of science, but being actively against science when they know  zero about what they are posting. I let them stick to their knitting , they should not question mine. And I'm not trying to sell them anything. EG -  "USB reclocker" - it's utter nonsense, all the clocking is done in the DAC.  What's  in front of it is irrelevant.

JVS mean 'trained' not 'educated'  You train a dog. That's what they would like us  to be. We aren't. Tough.

Your characterization of most people here is ill-informed.

How do you know what JVS meant.   this is what he wrote "" "...I would venture a guess that if they put "MQA" on the disc, only in Japan, where I am told that people are far more educated about and interested in MQA..." 

 

His "venture a guess, means to me, he has no clue what he means.

 

And I agree, we are not people that lay down and receive spoon feed journalism like some writers of MQA want us to receive.

I didn't say most of them were ignorant. Do  the  minority  that are argue with their heart surgeon or the guy who's flying the airplane?

I've been doing computers for 30 years plus and am still doing it.

 

Our  latest bits can be zero, one, or both at the same time,  whether some architect or surgeon  agrees or not :)

The split between baseband PCM and MQA data isn't fixed.

 

Unless I have missed it - there is no known method for measuring this at this time is there?

 

Also, want to take a wild questiment as to how much real bit depth there might be on an "MQA CD"?

 

Hey MQA, if it is not all $voodoo$, show us the math!

You used the word "mostly" and I understand that to mean most of the people. Did I misunderstand?

So yes.

Don't you see how this can be interpreted as most people?

 

For example, in Poland, mostly it's people of Polish ancestry. 

 

I take that to mean most people in Poland are of Polish ancestry.

I take it your "here" wasn't in reference to all of CA but to those you respond to in what some perceive to be a hard tone.

MIS interpreted in my context. And MOST Americans, probably including you,   don't have a native language :)

Your native language could have been used better explaining. 

 

P.S. America has several native languages, but they've disappeared when the people were wiped out.

Just wondering if English is a second language for you? No problem. But sometimes your grammar and usage are problematic. This makes communication more difficult. People often make errors here because of hurrying. Perhaps if you would consider slowing down just a little it could improve the quality of your communication. Perhaps your breakneck pace is undermining your coherence at times?
