1K Club - QQ Shooting Star
And I know your question is an honest one. I don't understand it either. I mean, I wish I could hear one of these. Maybe they simply blow away any processing an AVR can do. I have no clue. If they can, then I'd be very curious....
The simple answer is yes, absolutely, as a very happy owner of this remarkable device, I can confirm that the Involve SM is the best and only modern way to accurately decode and hence faithfully reproduce SQ or QS material. If you are interested you only have to take the briefest look at the pages of information on this site devoted to how it works and to realise the satisfaction of its users. I know of no fiddling about ("up-mixing"?) that any AVR might do that can even remotely approximate to proper decoding of these quad formats (and why should they, these formats were obsolete before the designers of "AVR"s were born?!)
