MQA and subtitles

(1/3) > >>

stanzani:
I will upgrade to MC24 for sure, at least to support this great product which sells at reasonable price
Saying that, I am asking about
- MQA decoding?
- select subtitles somewhere else than OSD when in DLNA?
thanks much and keep on the great work

Hendrik:
Our stance towards MQA has not changed.

I don't work for JRiver, but they aren't going to license or work on reverse-engineering the format.
Once there is an open-source decoder, they might consider adding support.
 
I would say that your questions are better directed toward the companies trying to con you into buying a lossy closed-source high-res format when several very good and open-source lossless compression formats already exist.

Awesome Donkey:
I'd be highly surprised to see an open-source MQA decoder anytime soon. Even if one existed and JRiver (or another paid/commercial software application) added it, it's possible they could open themselves up to a lawsuit from Meridian for not licensing.

This. IMO, MQA is the best example of audiophile snake oil right now.

stanzani:
I basically agree with the opinions about MQA exposed here . I just wanted to better understand what the situation is now. thanks
