Thanks read quickly yesterday now more slowly. One question-OK, I've just put up a new page on this at http://www.audiomisc.co.uk/MQA/questions/QuriousAssumptions.html
Note that it is just a section of what I'm doing at present, so a 'page 1' based on measurements I've been making. I didn't want the page to get too long, or keep delaying making the first parts of the results, etc, becoming available. I'll be working on other aspects of this and will put up another page about them when ready.
My 'objective' is quite simple. It is to apply the usual methods of science and engineering to probe the claims made, and the actual behaviour of, the MQA system. The aim being to provide evidence based on measurement and scientific analysis which people can then see and consider to help them come to their own conclusions, etc. i.e. SOP for scientists and engineers.
More to come...
"The spectra on the right shows the output when a sox-upsample to 88k2/24 was played, thus causing the DAC to treat it as plain LPCM, and the MQA indicator did not light up" -should that read "the spectra on the left *..."?
*possible bonus erratum "show" not "shows"
