Al, after my experience with listening to MQA files last night at the Alma audio event where Peter MCGraph demoed his outstanding original files vs. the same files decoded in MQA, I am a BIG believer in the value of MQA! Since the Yggy can apparently decode MQA, I would ask if you have heard any of these files played back by the Yggy? If not, I think you will be in for a very large treat indeed! If so, what were your impressions?
Davey, yes I saw your enthusiastic post about the event last night. The Yggy does not decode MQA:

Frankly, even if MQA sounds great I don't see the point of it since unlike vinyl and CD, but like DSD and 24/192 PCM, it will always be a niche product with relatively few titles available. The Yggy gets the most out of plain Redbook CD which is what counts -- it sounds incredible on that format where all the music is.
