So, why can't they run the master tape, if it's SQ encoded, thru an SQ decoder in order to provide a multichannel layer on the SACD ?
Precisely!
Audio Fidelity could do a tie-up with Involve.
Involve could do the decoding themselves through their SQ Surround Master unit, make it official, rather than an amateur/homebrew affair..
Audio Fidelity give Involve and their Surround Master a credit on the Lotus SACD..
Everybody benefits = Audio Fidelity, Involve and us at QQ.
This currently tiny Surround niche of the music industry needs a little extra creative thinking, a few new ideas, maybe one or two slightly unconventional or outside the box "Eureka! moments".. and things in our Surround Music world will grow exponentially, imho.
