Interesting film about MQA
MQA is a perceptual coder.
The authors of the “Worse than FLAC” article do not understand how perceptual coders work and therefore wasted 37 minutes of valuable YouTube time posting something that, if it were printed, the brits would call “tendentious bumf”.
The author of the video is ignorant. The good news is that ignorance can be cured, but stupid is forever, so at least he is not stupid.
It would certainly help if Stuart et all were to make some real world end-to-end testing available, but he/they have chosen not to do so and will get pilloried because of it.
MQA is all the things I don’t like in entertainment media: proprietary, officious, and bombastic.
I know this post is very pointed. I guess I’m just tired of the back and forth on MQA.
