    Re: MQA Discussion

    It appears to me MQA is a "nice" addition to a already great player. In other words, for someone to say "I have MQA on my $200 DAC and therefore it sounds better than your 44.1 DAC (SOTA DAC) is...

    And the friggin biggest mystery to me is why Porshe teamed up with Bose in my 911. I am on the fence with MQA. It will not make lemonade out of lemons though.

    Re: Dream Amps
