At the most recent CES, as reported by Joao Martins

Quoted under Fair Use:

For the Better
Consciously, I also avoid going back to discuss MQA, a technology that I continue to believe was well-intentioned and answered a direct request from the recording industry - as Bob Stuart (founder of both Meridian Audio and MQA) recently reaffirmed in our conversation at CES 2023. MQA responded to the key issue of creating better digital masters from the many recordings of the early CDs, when analog-to-digital converters were still in their infancy and yet remained in use far too long (over a decade in most cases). And subsequently, record companies wanted a way to "authenticate" those remastered files to distinguish them from the garbage that unfortunately was already stored in many streaming libraries.
