I bet he has utterly NO CLUE> Congratulations on posting a small enough amount of Stereophile text, that you are not accused of copyright infringement! ;-) I Googled MQA CD player. I could not find a single MQA capable CD player. Is it possible to use a CD transport, and send the MQA bitstream to an MQA capable DAC by USB or spdif? Either way, it looks like Jason Victor Serinus (Whistler extraordinaire) is making stuff up. If someone can show me an MQA capable CD player available for purchase, I will apologise for claiming JVS made something up. Link to comment

That's how I assumed it would be handled. From what I've read, the disc has a 16-bit MQA stream (rather than the usual 24-bit) encoded in standard CD format readable by any player.

Besides, everybody has been talking at length about the MQA article series currently running in Stereophile. You don't need the table of contents to know it's there. What a troll.

I replied to a Serinius article thus. The first part is a 100% accurate parody of what Serinius wrote Under UK law I own the copyright and therefore can display it worldwide The context is self-explanatory. Online Feb 19. "There are two hi-res ones. I will review only the MQA one and say the MQA one is 24/96 when it is actually lossy "about 17" (Stuart)/96 rather than the lossless 24/96 of the other one. And It wasn't MQA 'authenticated' in the manner MQA Ltd claim. There was no artist/mixer/producer 'sign off' at all. MQA was just added on later by some other guy and 'approved' (not 'authenticated') by some suits." There's a Jim Austin MQA article in your right-side online edition. I've never seen a 'paper' Stereophile in the UK. Not that I would look for it. Link to comment
