Steve,
I remember that episode, and it did reflect poorly on them. And I can only guess that they realized that, and now are fully onboard with comparisons, given that they've encoded several of Peter McGrath's own recordings, and he's now doing the exact comparisons that weren't being done before.
Earlier this year, I've also done AxB comparisons on MQA stuff at the LAAS event we hosted.
So, we can safely say that that episode a few years back is fully in the past, and nobody's afraid of doing comparisons. As I said, even a $2000 Mytek will show the improvements of the MQA versions.
Unfortunately, I can't help the techy folks that prefer information before listening, since I'm in no way affiliated with the MQA folks. But if anybody wants to have a good listen, including you, Steve, they're more than welcome to come over and listen here.
cheers,
alex
