Does anyone make such a thing?
No worries. The DRC will make your system sound better. You won't notice any bad effects from the changes to the DSD.- firedog

I wouldn't worry about the 96k, it that's the only thing keeping you from buying a MiniDSP. I've got lots of experience with this stuff, and if your setup automatically converts everything above 96k to 96k, I don't think you will hear a difference. The room correction makes a huge difference...- firedog

Audiophile Hearing Aids
It may take time to them setup how you like them and also to get them setup for music. Can you adjust the programming in your model?

Whither MQA
Don't think #3 is true; that's why he needed family to keep MQA afloat till now. The fact that his wife's family is rich doesn't mean he is. -

They wanted a proprietary closed coding and decoding format that they could control and porfit off of. -

Whither MQA
They claim to be correcting "blurring" which they say is timing errors. But they never clearly defined what the deblurring actually is, nor did they ever show proof it actually does what they claim. It was all based on their descriptions and claims, and them saying "trust us". In fact, third... -

Whither MQA
Yeah, but it's all BS. Their system doesn't in the end do anything special. You can turn 24 bit flac masters into dithered 18/96 flac and it is no larger than an MQA file - more or less the same resolution and essentially sounds identical to the master - pretty much no actual audible material is... -

Harley compared MQA favorably to Copernicus' ideas as a scientific revolution. That's all anyone needs to know. -

CA takes aim at MQA
Astral Weeks by Van Morrison IMO, the MQA sounds worse than the 24/96 and even than my CD. -

Ripping SACDs the right way
Any explanation for why the rips are different? Or can you tell us how the 2 rips from the same SACD sound different? What do you hear?- firedog

Ripping SACDs the right way
Bruce, sorry if this has been answered before, but the thread is long and I didn't find the answer. When you wrote: Are you also saying a Sonoma rip from an SACD is sonically superior to a PS3 rip of the same SACD?- firedog

Mytek Stereo192-DSD DAC
