I agree, just trying to clarify what I thought the intent of Mark's inquiry was. If it was different he can expound on his initial question.

I couldn't find the stage designation in the article, so I assume that Stage 1 = No Decode; Stage 2 = Decode to MQA Core at 88.2/96kHz; Stage 3 = Full Decode.

Actually the most important difference between MQA Core signal at 88.2/96kHz and the full decoding (includes rendering) is this: the DAC-specific optimizations and whatever filters MQA apply in the rendering. I believe the final sample rate does not matter as much since 3rd party tests show that there's not much musical information above 60kHz.

By the way, people always ask for a software solution to do the full decoding without buying new hardware, that's just not possible because the rendering is tuned for individual DAC hardware. If a DAC manufacturer does not ship a DAC to MQA Ltd. for certification, there's no tuning data for the software to exist. If a DAC manufacturer ships a DAC for certification, then it gains the MQA decoding or rendering functionality, so there is no longer a need for the software to do full decoding.

Hi Peter,

How is the progress of the MQA effort for Lumin going? Any particular challenges or issues you guys are trying to overcome?

Cheers!

Although not yet certified, we had S1 delivering MQA quality playback as demonstrated in Munich. I'm sorry there's not much else I can talk about, other than that I'd like to have this completed and released four months ago, but that's not controlled by us.
 
Frankly, that's the impression he gives me as a user. That MQA is going too slow. They have created great excitement and yet they can end up boring consumers, with slowness in certifications.
Not to mention the speed at which new Warner MQA albums appear on Tidal. Of Universal, who signed with Tidal, I have not yet seen any ....

Francisco you nailed it.
 
Hi.
I just entered the TIDAL section of the Lumin app and I only have 399 MQA disks! When, a few days ago appeared almost 700. Peter, has removed TIDAl disks, or is it a problem with the app?
Regards
