As I understand it, MQA and Chord's WTA (Watts Transient Alignment) filter-based approach are two ways of trying to do the same thing, viz., get the timing of transients right so as to more accurately recover the original analog wave.

Much has been written on Rob Watts' approach for Chord. See the paper at https://www.moon-audio.com/mwdownloa...d/link/id/159/
for example. But I think the best way to get an idea of what Watts is up to is to watch some of his presentations on YouTube. There are several. Just search 'Rob Watts' on YouTube.

Much has also been written on MQA. Here though there seems to be a lot more controversy about exactly what's going on with the process.
I don't mind at all, thank you for posting. It was and continues to be my hope that we can keep the focus of this thread on sound quality and avoid discussing the controversies.

I read the paper. They seem to, as is quite common, improperly invoke Nyquist.
