Meridian Audio Ltd. launched MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) in December 2014. Since then it has attracted considerable interest in the audio community. In January 2016 at CES several products were promoted as MQA Ready.
This post provides links to a couple YouTube videos by Hans Beekhuyzen which provide an insight into MQA and explains the benefits it seeks to offer:
- MQA Part 1: Why 24 bit 192 kHz? This video discusses why 24/192 was chase a the basis for MQA.
- MQA Part 2 (new version). This video discusses how MQA works.
The discussion may get a bit technical, but I hope that you find the insight useful.
