As far as the content creator “GoldenSound” is concerned this video bookends his exploration of MQA
Thank you for the link! It's clear from watching both videos and reading Bob Stuart's response that significant questions remain about the nature of MQA, including the rather simple question as to whether it is lossless, or not. This is all part of why I've been skeptical of MQA from the start - it just isn't clear what it does. While Stuart can rip "GoldenSound" for his analysis, I haven't seen any response from him to Neil Young, who has his own issues with MQA and has pulled his music from the service.

"GoldenSound" says he'll post another MQA update if Stuart cooperates with him in further testing. That doesn't seem likely to happen, and it wouldn't surprise me if Stuart also ignores GoldenSound's follow-up video, even though it seems fair and thorough to me.
