I thought that DR was a component of IQ? ;-)

The statement "Better DR doesn't mean better IQ" is sort of like writing "the right amount of salt doesn't mean better taste."
Dan, you have used your pseudo posts to squeeze then flip these items so many times and I am really confused reading your messages. Would you enlighten me (us)

Question: "Currently no Canon camera offers more than 22MP. Do your DSLR customers ask for higher resolution?"
Answer: "Yes. We know that many of our customers need more resolution and this is under consideration. In the very near future you can expect us to show something in terms of mirrorless and also a higher resolution sensor."

Why would I do that? I never claimed that the A7r was better at concert or sports photography. The person I asked, however, claimed an IQ advantage in favor of the 1DX.
You can hope for more low ISO DR in a new Canon 1DsX, but the reality is, it will be only a FF version of current APS-C sensor tech with the same DR limit.
I just love when people insinuate that Canon, the largest photography company in the world, is incapable of innovating ahead of Sony's sensor designs.
Why would you care about actual image quality in a variety of settings rather than just one? Because that is what makes a great camera great. Not just a big sensor in a tiny body.

I just don't love when people get so defensive about Canon. Reality is the tech we have seen. Improved low ISO DR is just speculation. It doesn't seem that Canon have any plans of innovationg ahead of Exmor DR: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1320164
There is no camera that excels in all areas. We pick the tools that work best for our purposes.

The head honcho at Canon certainly did not rule out a Sony sensor in Psychic 1's predicted 1DSX:
DPR Question: "One thing we’ve learned is that the sensor in the G7X is not made by Canon. Does this represent a new philosophy at Canon?"
Masaya Maeda's Answer: "We select the best sensor, whoever the manufacturer is. That’s our policy."
Yeah but then later on he went on about how they don't look at one little aspect like low ISO DR, but the entire sensor and they strongly feel they have the best overall DSLR sensors and that the 7D2 has the best aps-c sensor. I think it means no Sony sensor for 1DsX or 5D4 and barely any low ISO improvements for those either.
We'll see. Not sure if I will wait now.

And then go into other forums to tell them how much their equipment sucks in those areas. At least that is what I have gathered from a number of Sony and Nikon users lately.

I am invested in both Sony and Canon systems and of course discuss different aspects, good and bad, both here and there. Both Sony and Canon make good efforts in on-sensor phase detect AF, so the gap in AF tracking between DSLR and mirrorless narrows fast.
5fps?....If that's true. I'm impressed for the size of the sensor. Years ago I used the 1DS II for birding at 4 fps. Wasn't bad per se. Except when duck hunting and you have about 2 seconds from liftoff till they disappear. So possibly it will be named the 3D?

Yes, we'll have to wait and see.
It surely must have crossed their minds that the new 1DsX will be competing against the D810.
So, there's a good chance, IMO, that the new sensor will have class-leading performance - including high DR.
It would be surprising if it doesn't.
I'm fishing. Is that a guess? a tip? a psychic1 revelation?
Hard for me to believe it would have that ability. As it would be amazing. Saw that limb from the inside Frank. Time for another update from your crystal ball.
