MQA, so that they may choose another DAC provider that backs the format, if they feel it is important to them. Although there are still many questions to be answered about MQA, we feel we know enough to make a decision," said Jason Stoddard, Schiit's Co- Founder. Stoddard outlined the primary reasons: 1. We believe that supporting MQA means handing over the entire recording industry to an external standards organization.
MQA wants: • Licensing fees from the recording studios• Licensing fees from the digital audio product manufacturers• Hardware or software access/insight into the DAC or player • Subscription fees from every listener via Tidal, and/or royalties from purchases of re- releases by the recording industry. Our experience with standards- driven industries is sub- par. Consider the surround market. Companies making surround processors now have to support a dizzying array of different standards, none of which is a market differentiator, and the exclusion of any single standard can mean commercial failure. The result is a market in which competition is stifled and consumers are confused.
We don't believe MQA is a differentiator for high- end DACs if it is available on phones. Consider SRS, the Sound Retrieval System, as an instructive example. Before being acquired by DTS, it claimed to be on. However, there is little evidence any consumers considered SRS a must- have, differentiating technology.
We consider MQA to be yet another "format. This is a reflection of our position in the. It is our experience that when someone starts getting into great audio, they just want a product that will make their current music sound better, rather than one that requires additional investment in streaming subscriptions or new releases. We feel that, even from a market perspective, many questions need to be answered. When will we see MQA on Tidal? At what cost? What percentage of the library will be MQA? How many releases should we expect to see from Warner in the next 1.
What will be the cost? Again, a historic example may be cautionary.
Consider Sony and DSD. DSD is a Sony technology that they promoted, and yet they released very few recordings in DSD. Mike Moffat concurred, saying, "In addition to the market questions outlined by my partner, there are many performance questions (about MQA) that cause great concern. Actual decoded bit depth for both MQA and non- MQA DACs, claims of. MQA to tweak their decode algorithm for a specific DAC (and their ability to perform this optimization on- schedule for a DAC manufacturer who might be, well, a little smaller than HTC,) the impact on the DAC. DAC. manufacturer's own competitiveness."Moffat further opined that Schiit Audio considers the further development of in support of the primary. Hz PCM format to be of the most value to its customers, citing extremely strong sales of Schiit.
Audio's multi- bit DAC products, and the positive reception to its "DACs for the music you have, not the music you have to. Asked if there was any chance Schiit Audio might support MQA if it became the dominant format in the market, Moffat answered. If it becomes the dominant audio technology, or even a very popular second- place format, we would have to evaluate it in the same way we evaluate other lossy compression standards, such as home theater surround formats, Bluetooth codecs, and MP3.

Having an. independent third party familiar with compression techniques would benefit both MQA and those who may use this technology. This will enable everyone to have a better understanding of it's strengths and weaknesses.

Heinz Lichtenegger started his turntable career close to 4. The Classic uses a compact, simple and elegant frame design established by manufacturers in the 1. As with Pro- Ject's famous Debut model, they wanted to create an easy- to- use plug & play product, but with better sound due to enhanced isolation techniques.
Thanks to the modern damping materials such as TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomers), they are able to design a very effective subchassis construction. Isolating the platter and tonearm from the resonances of the motor and main plinth is the aim. The platter of The Classic is precisely machined out of a special. TPE included, which offers special damping abilities.
This turntable's subplatter and main bearing construction are similar to Pro- Ject's Debut. It's hardened steel, bronze- bushing, and teflon- bearing mirror resulting in a very smooth low noise running of the bearing.
The main difference to the Debut bearing is the tolerances, which are lower by a factor of 1. A very sophisticated part, the subplatter, is accurately machined and guarantees very good isolation between bearing noise and the platter itself. The radical, newly- designed Classic Tonearm is the result of 2. The tonearm tube is made out of a sandwich of carbon and. The. carbon bearing assembly with its pin- point Zircon bearing provides ultra- low friction.
A new expensive Japanese base. The counterweight incorporates a TPE damper which allows us to reduce the amplitude of the tonearm cartridge resonance frequency by 5. Included with Pro- Ject's The Classic turntable is an Ortofon 2. M (Silver for upgrade) moving magnet cartridge. This. Silver version is a cartridge exclusively designed for Pro- Ject Audio Systems by Ortofon. We improved the sound and dynamics of the. M series by implementing pure silver coils instead of standard copper.
However, as the tonearm offers excellent damping and flexibility as well, its effective mass can be called middle heavy, so it is also a very good partner for MC cartridges. T. H. E.
