I didn't understand the relationship between spectral content and the decoded impulse and square wave responses.
However, I am predisposed to giving people in my field a benefit of the doubt and allowing them an opportunity to explain, before declaring their work fraudulent. Professional courtesy, if you will.
Hence I was hoping that yourself, being well learned in the subject, can reach out to the author (ostensibly inhabiting the same small island?) and come back with an understandable explanation. This would have allowed for a better interpretation or for a convincing understanding of irrelevance.
Where did you get the "fradulent" idea from? I can't recall making such an accusation. Seems a particularly odd term for you to use just before the rest of your para.
The "interpretation" of the page I made was that:
1) The time axis scale wasn't of a form that I could make sense of. So I asked here to see what others made of it. No-one else seems certain, either.
2) lacking a clearly determined timescale the *plots* showed a lack of time resolution because they simply look to 'perfect'.
3) So my conclusion is that as they stand the plots tell us nothing useful.
Since they contribute nothing there seems little point in wondering further about them when my interest is in assessing/explaining MQA, not that set of graphics.
I've not seen any reason to doubt Bob Stuart's honesty or that he believes what he says. But my interest is in assessing MQA not Bob Stuart.
FWIW The good news from my POV is that - in terms of sound quality - I'd now say it was essentially 'mostly harmless', although I do wonder about how some companies will use it on some CD recordings that have a *lot* of HF and thus run into NOT being neatly "1/f spectrum". History is littered with music companies misusing the pretty tools they get due to delusions like LOUDNESS SELLS, etc. But for that, we need to blame the idiots in the music biz, not Bob Stuart.
But beyond that, my main wish would be not to have to pay for it because the only version available of something I want is MQA encoded. If others like it, that's fine with me. YMMV
