Amir sin holdning til MQA er vel ganske tydelig postulert her
GoldenOne posted somewhere the multiple error messages that he was sent when he queried why his original track wasn't processed. I can't find them. Can anyone please point me to them? I think there may be useful insight to be gained into the workings of the encoder by analysing the errors.

Also when you say neutral position. Neutral position of what?
It means this:
1. I use MQA for free on Tidal. It was added to my subscription at no cost to me.
2. I have DACs and players that decode it. Definitely did not pay for it in my player (Roon).
3. I have no issue with someone/MQA trying to build a format and charge people to use it. MP3, AAC, WMA, Dolby, DTS, MPEG, etc. all have license fees (some with very high dollars). The few that were not likely infringed on someone's patent and left it to the implementer to deal with the lawsuit. Folks are paying probably $10 to $20 to license Blu-ray format to build a player and that hasn't cause riots in streets. And companies like Netflix and such are getting sued for millions if not billions of dollars over codec/DRM IP. It is just the way this field works.
4. I see no fear of MQA taking over the world and predicted that Apple and Amazon's of the world would never pay a fee to use it. Amazon has since come out with high-res service with no MQA proving that MQA had no leverage over them, or the the labels.
5. I consider Bob Stuart a professional colleague with major contributions to audio research (AES Fellow, highly reference journal papers, etc.). I would need really good reasons to throw arrows at him.
I realize some of you are motivated differently and that is fine. Just don't ask me to shed blood with you. I have a review to get out.
