MQA Plans MQA Live Performance for Friday From the High End Munich Show

Following the debut of the MQA Live in Austin earlier this year (see 1803190030), MQA will demonstrate the real-time encoding technology via several partners at this week's High End show in Munich, it said Monday. The performance, by the London-based Misha Mullov-Abbado Group, is scheduled to be streamed live Friday at 10:30 a.m. EDT. MQA Live streams music from “wherever and whenever” artists are performing, allowing fans to listen to a concert, in real time, in its original quality “as if they were standing in the venue,” said the company when it launched. Additional MQA updates: Hegel Music Systems and Lyngdorf Audio said they will integrate MQA in future products; LG incorporated MQA in the G7 ThinQ smartphone; ESS Technology said it will launch versions of its Sabre Mobile digital-to-analog converters and headphone systems with integrated MQA rendering; and networked audio platform Roon last week released its V1.5 software that supports and decodes MQA files and streams, said MQA.
