Well according to their regulatory filings it is a new lossless format.

/facepalm if it is.

I guess we'll see what it is in 8 hours.

Made for streaming, that means the first streaming highrez service will be Tidal with MQA hardware/software from Meridian?

I wonder what Music will be available in Highrez streaming.

I have been trying to follow this on a Meridian site. According to Robert Harley this has the potential to be a large step in delivering music.

There is no doubt that Bob Stuart has been a leader in the field of digital delivery.

That DSP8000SE display reads "MQA 384k". Interesting..

Yep, that caught my eye too. That explains some of the extra DSP horsepower they put in with the SE upgrade?

I recall that demo at CES 2014. I was modestly impressed. OTOH, even an incremental improvement coupled with a significant increase in efficiency is good news.
