I'm a little puzzled as to why there are so many 'skeptics ' about this issue.
Instead of an open mind, it appears that some of you are exactly the opposite and bring preconceived ideas to the discussion. Without hearing MQA in action, you really have absolutely no idea as to what it brings to the equation...none!
When I visited Alex and Alma's get together this week, I had never heard MQA, and I had absolutely no preconceived ideas as to how it would sound...none. I can tell you that Alex and Peter were absolutely impartial to our experience...they were both simply trying to show the audience how much of an advance this technology is....and don't kid yourself, based on what I heard that night it is a very significant advance in digital reproduction.
Open minded is really, IMHO, the best way to experience something in this hobby. Something for several posters on this thread to contemplate!
